I Couldn't Believe This Great Karate-ka Was Useless!

I was introduced to an interesting karate-ka, at a karate seminar several years ago, we had an amazing chat in between classes.
He had us all enthralled, he said he had beaten this guy and that guy, he had been training ten times per week since he was 2 months old, we should do this, we should do that, he had fought Bruce Lee and won! Man, I was impressed, so impressed, I wanted to watch him train and partner up with him.
My dream, became a reality in the next class.
I turned to partner up and he was behind me, I thought to myself, I’m going to get my butt kicked from here (London), to the JKA honbu dojo in Tokyo, but I was still excited, this awesome karateka was going to show me how to train correctly, boy, was I in for a shock.

That was the most fantastic addition to the Nike slogan. I was delighted to read this article.: )
Do think of publishing it in a magazine, so many others may enjoy it and be motivated: )

many people like to name-drop, and spin yarns about themselves.
My Sensei simply says - "Dave I love to train Man...", then He'll search Me eyes to see if there is a glint of understanding.
At first I simply thought it was a chuckle to find a Maniac trainer like Myself, but later it became evident that He found Me. He discerned I was training with a limited amount of knowledge and in an unproductive environment. My techique and My desire to just train became a Way of Life - Truly.
My favorite sports logo slogan is -"Adidas" All Day I Dream about Soccer (Karate')
