 It has been like going to law, business and charm school rolled into one for me! The education I have been receiving after my formal education finished, I owe so much to those who love and respect Kyokushin Karate through and through. Just a quick thank you.... 

A Beautiful Time....

Half of the year is already gone! Wow, it just seems like yesterday that we were doing Kagami Biraki (New Year Dojo opening held on January 11th).

The year has been quite interesting with great challenges and great rewards. It is learning about new methods and tactics and each day is a fun!

I am sorry i am not sharing picture's here... i am still working on my website but it is hard to do it along with billion other plans! 

it is still an uphill road but I am happy where I am right now. 

I went to visit my parent's grave and it reminded of all the experience of the last 18 years wash over me. .. it was kind of surreal and I felt so much gratitude. Which is strange, I know as I had some hard knocks!! 

Anyway just writing a quicky to let you know the small comments and email I get really motivate me and thank you for being all so sweet.

Happy Fourth of July~~~!

Blessings to you all...! In any culture, our ancestor worked hard and paved the path for us to continue. I am giving my thanks to my parents for all the blessings they lefts us...

You Carry Who.

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to jot down couple things before going off on my day! Thank you so much for the supporting messages... it really helps me get thru tough times.

Remember you carry who you are in and from the dojo, the organization or any work place to personal space.

We had one member that was expelled last year. He continues to try and make his case. how he was done wrong. He goes on about his experience and what he did the last 30 years. yaddy yaddy ya... how he sent over 2000 emails for Honbu.

The funny thing is and that was pointed out to him was he did not pay ARF, did not have a dojo (but still called himself a Branch chief) and basically did nothing other than the "help" he was referring to. So we said EVERYONE, every branch, every dojo works hard for Honbu. It is wonderful and it is not just him.

 He was expelled for a very good reason; insubordination and having sexual relationship with the students mother. Ouch right? Well it happens and if there was remorse and reflection, Honbu would have been lenient I think.

Then he says the sexual relation he has is "personal" so it was not Honbu's business. Considering his student was a child in his kids class and the father always drove the son to the Dojo, this showed us his immaturity and had no concept of consideration.

The Honbu Committee revoked his status immediately had court injunction to have the Kyokushin banner removed and MOST importantly, Sosai's name and picture and the Dojo -kun removed from the premise where it was formerly known as his "Dojo".


You can't build your reputation on what you are going to do. ha....

The six's and Mother's memorial....

Hello everyone, Today is exactly six years since my mother passed away. She passed away on June 6th,2006 year of the Dog which was Sosai's Chinese Astrology sign! Exactly 12 years after my father passed away. I wrote an essay when she passed away which I will post it here later.
