  Hey I tested for my Dark Green in December and I made it. Sweet. My little brother also moved up to Orange and was 1 of 4 who made it into the Black Belt Club. Lots of hard work but worth every bit of it. Now I need to catch up to my little brother. He puts everything he's got into it and it shows.

NOT ALL KARATE GIRLS ARE MANLY...

Man in the Arena
By: President Theodore Roosevelt
 
 
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

2008 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done. Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hit, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you are because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain't you. You're better than that!"

- Rocky Balboa

    Q&A - Competition

    How did you get started?

    MY SENSEI (AND HUSBAND) MADE IT A REQUIREMENT TO ACHIEVE MY NEXT RANK.

    List your competitive highlights:

    2007 TRIPLE CROWN IN THE USKA NATIONAL POINTS STANDINGS. 2007 TRIPLE CROWN AT THE USKA NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS. 2007 TRIPLE CROWN AT THE USKA WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS. 2008 ADULT KYU WEAPONS GRAND CHAMPION AT THE USKA NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS. 2008 ADULT KYU WEAPONS GRAND CHAMPION AT THE USKA WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS. 2008 TRIPLE CROWN IN THE USKA NATIONAL POINT STANDINGS.

    What are you planning for next season?

    DO IT AGAIN, OF COURSE.

    What has been your biggest accomplishment?

    BEING ABLE TO PASS ON MY KNOWLEDGE OF THE JAPANESE WAR FANS TO A SEVERAL OF MY STUDENTS INCLUDING MY OWN SON.

    Q&A - Personal

    Describe your style...

    OKINAWAN SHURI-RYU KARATE

    Do you train? What does your schedule look like?

    I TRAIN REGULARLY MON - FRI FROM 3PM TO 9PM AND COMPETE ON THE WEEKENDS.

    What inspires you to compete?

    THE FEELING I GET WHEN I ACHIEVE A NATIONAL OR WORLD TITLE AND I HEAR MY NAME CALLED OVER THE PA SYSTEM, IT'S INDESCRIBABLE. IT MAKES ALLL THE BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS WORTH IT. I WANT MY CHILDREN TO KNOW THAT FEELING OF SUCCESS AND ACHIEVEMENT SO I LEAD THEM BY EXAMPLE.

    Why do you compete?

    SO I CAN BE AN EXAMPLE TO MY CHILDREN TO NEVER GIVE UP.

    Music?

    WHEN I FIRST GET TO THE DOJO I LIKE TO TURN ON SOME 80'S TO GET GOING. MY FAVORITE IS THE FLASHDANCE SOUNDTRACK, BUT I CAN'T SAY THAT IT'S EVERYBODY'S FAVORITE...

    WHEN YOU ARE AFRAID, JUST REMEMBER...
