thanks everyone ....

thanks Mary, it sure is a small world. In regards to the Karate stuff, I really need to get back into it, I've been out for a year or so busy with a bunch of kid activities and remodeling my basement for the new HT , you know the important stuff. My Master's Master is Taika Oyata who is now pushing 80, but you would not know it, I've watched him toss these Americanized TKD so called black belts around the room like rag dolls. There is definately a difference between Americanized Martial Arts that is geared towards preparing for tournaments, and a true Life Protection Art that provides techniques that could actually kill an attacker.

The art is actually called RyuTe that Taika founded but because he is from the RyuKyu Islands, most of us refer to it as RyuKyu Karate.

Thanks, again...Randy
