Just got a pretty awesome compliment in Aikido class * 1
    #22104767 - 08/17/15 10:16 PM (8 years, 5 months ago)

So most of the regs here know I do Aikido (a Japanese martial art. You can google it). I've been training at a new dojo for the last 2.5 years or so and am really enjoying it and learning new ways of things has been an awesome and rewarding process. A lot of you know that I recently tested for me 2nd degree black belt, which was quite an honor for the sensei to test me for that since I had only been with his dojo for 2 years. I'm very diligent in my training though, rarely miss a class, and it had been a long time since I tested for my first degree black belt, so I was able to test and passed back in March I think.

Well tonight we were training and it was a good class, and at the end of the class, sensei was saying something (he speaks mostly Vietnamese, so I could only hear that he said my name). After class was dismissed, one of the other students translated what he said to us. Basically he was telling the other students at the dojo who had trained elsewhere before that they should look up to how I train and how I was able to let go of my previous training and learn the ways of the dojo. I couldn't believe he said that to everyone! He's not generally one to heap out very much praise. He's very old school like that. He's 80 years old and has been training in martial arts for the last 65 years. He's quite a man to receive a compliment like that from.

I couldn't believe it.

That's amazing Chrisman!  Keep up the hard work, buddy.  It's good to know you can get some praise.

I have a black belt in the ancient art of bulshite..
I can karate chop a tractor trailer in half.. Long ways..
I can kick a bowling ball over a street light.
I can walk on broken glass without getting cut, hot coals without getting burnt and a floor covered in potato chips without making a noise..
I have to carry a concealed weapons permit or it's illegal for me to stick my hands in my pockets..

so lethal the MMA rejected my application.

a wax sculpture of my ass is on display at Ripley's Believe it or not for having an impenetrable anus..

my words alone break stick, stone and bone
