People think the yudansha are a clique. Really, it's hard NOT to bond after a few decades of punching each other.
Don't worry, there's no rush.

@frjennings Supremely lucky in that we both train. There's no need to explain things like that in our household. But funny, nonetheless.

Was recommended this book by a great martial artist and friend. Cracking it open today.

@iainabernethy @ClubbChimera @kris_wilder She looks like she's daring you to say something.

Driving around the area we just moved to and it is so saturated with martial arts schools. There is a lot to choose from. Hoping to stand out.

I hear people say that kata is useless, and I wonder how they're doing their kata.

Invited the folks from my new office to come train. Hopefully I'll get one taker.

Any suggestions on finding quality students in a home dojo?

How true. It took me at least a decade after getting my black belt to even feel like I belonged. https://t.co/C900L0lOYr

@iainabernethy You can't get in a fight if you're too tired to leave the house!
