  4. My calendar is telling me that today marks the 16th anniversary since I started my #karate journey here in the US. Which was a restart of a journey started in 1986. Over two decades in battle pajamas, hitting my knuckles with a ball pein hammer, using the side of a refrigerator as a makiwara and using a staircase at a friend’s house as a leg stretch aid.

    A drop in the ocean perhaps compared to some who will read this. But you know, not gonna lie, I feel kinda accomplished. 4th dan #blackbelt. 🥋

  5. Attended a “gishiki” today at my dojo - this is where new 1st dan black belts are awarded rank. There is a BB candidate program which lasts for several months beforehand where the black-belts-to-be are put through their paces - the gishiki is essentially a choreographed “show” where the skills are demonstrated to other BB’s (including me) and a decent sized audience of friends and family. Was a great afternoon! #karate #okinawankarate #shorinryu #blackbelt #martialarts

  6. From my past photography work archive.

    Quickie shoot for my old friend & #JapaneseKarate instructor, Greg Turnbull.
    His #dojo is located 2 blocks from my home. I've known him for over 20 years.

    Formerly #Yoshukai Karate Canada, #SeienjukuKarate Canada presents an opportunity to experience authentic Japanese-style #karate right here in #VictoriaBC , Canada.

  7. My kid is now a first degree brown belt ("ikkyu"), the last of the ten colored ranks, meaning his next rank will be first degree black belt. We have a BB candidate class at my dojo which students are invited into in the months leading up to the full black belt test - the candidates have to do what are called ins and outs - exercises that are to be done when arriving at the dojo, and when leaving, and there is also a candidate class on Saturdays especially for them (all existing black belts are welcome to attend this class, but nobody else except the candidates themselves, of course).

    Sometime next year, my kid will be invited to officially become a black belt candidate.

    Estoy muy orgulloso de el! Very proud of him, and the reason I said that in Spanish is because I learned that sentence specifically so I could say it to my landscaper this morning. #karate #blackbelt #ikkyu

  8. What a day… But I achieved 2nd Dan in Bujinkan Ninjutsu. 🥷Can’t celebrate, I feel like I‘ve been run over by a bus… #Ninjutsu #MartialArts #blackbelt

  9. Just graded to 1st Dan in Hockley kenpo-jiu-jitsu today three days shy of my 53rd birthday. Thank you everyone at Crocodile Martial Arts Australia #martialArts #kenpo #kempo #jiujitsu #blackbelt

  10. TFW your friend who’s a bonafide Civil Rights hero (SNCC etc) sends you the gift of a lifetime. I almost cried. I’ll cherish this forever.😭♥️

  11. Here's a bit of me with my coach. He goes for a , which is kinda my thing, so after I stuff his first attempt I tease him for trying it on me.

    Not pictured: the three non-kimura subs he scored in the next 3 minutes... 😅 .

  12. CW: Do I have any Updawg? (Long)
    What's updawg with me? Here's a big hashtag filled status about what I'm up to, in case people are searching for people who are into these things, or people are looking for reasons to unfollow:

    There's some #sourdough #bread proofing upstairs in the kitchen.

    Yesterday I volunteered at a tournament the place I take #taekwondo was hosting. I also just passed my 2nd Dan #blackbelt test on Friday. I'm going to put it on my resume under a "Dwight Schrute Credentials" header.

    I'm currently playing #ReturnToMonkeyIsland on the #PS5. A number of the people who wrote it are handing around this #fediverse and are worth seeking out.

    I'm currently re-reading @GreatDismal 's The #Peripheral. It's not my favorite series by him (that's probably the #bridge books) but it's pretty good. Also just got the 'hardcover deluxe' versions of the Kodansha #GhostInTheShell manga collection. Someone who popped into my feed earlier today referenced a John Brunner novel in their intro, which makes me want to re-read 'The Sheep Look Up'.

    I'm currently watching #Pennyworth on HBO Max (guilty pleasure) and #ThePeripheral on Amazon. I'm debating whether or not I should sign back up to Paramount for a new run through #StarTrek (and watch #StrangeNewWorlds again).

    This morning I updated my #linux and #macOS systems. Whole lotta brew / apt going on.

    While I was updating software, the #music I was listening to included: 'Urban Hymns' by the Verve, 'McCartney III' by Ringo Starr, 'A Light for Attracting Attention' by The Smile, 'Three Imaginary Boys' by The Cure, and 'Random Access Memories' by Daft Punk (all on #CompactDisc like the geezer I am).

    I'm debating which #VintageComputer I should set up now that I'm back to working from the basement for the winter. Any thoughts?

    (Too many words to proof...I'm sure it's fine.)
