Very! I was buzzing pretty good last night, and it's hard to focus on my paying job right now, which I obviously am not doing. They're really great students, but I'm hoping they can make a pilgrimage to your dojo someday and see how it's really done.

HUSH.....

You are doing it how it should be done.....

We are team mates doing the same thing but in different place and different ways, if that makes sense.

I am very proud of you......

So don't you ever discount what you feel or do.....

You are a good man and I am sure a Great Sensei.

Keep it up and you and your students are always welcome to our home.

Have a great day.....

Scott

Way to go, Sensei! It's great to see ISR being shared and preserved.

I'm doing a really good job and my students are proof, but you're operating on a higher level and that's just the truth.

I just realized that almost rhymes….

Again, thanks so much and I hope to see you soon!

Hey Chris

Congratulations. Don't get cocky and start your own system. Scott and I might have to make a covert visit. My goal was to have my kyus better than I was at their rank. Bob

Start my own system? Who would do such a thing? (Heh!) And what would I call it? I'd need new patches. That's all beyond me.

Making my students better than I was? That's the soft bigotry of low expectations, my friend. You have no idea what a spazz I was when I started. But you have a pretty good idea of what a spazz I am now and can extrapolate backward. These young women all would have trounced my fifteen-year-old self. I, and they, can aim a lot higher and realistically hit those targets.

Carbondale's a nice halfway point between Boston and Campbellsville, if a little westward, and my dojo is open for inspection at any time.
