R.i.p deepest belated sympathy to the family of a dedicated, kind soul. Casey you are one of a kind and I remember our chats were not often, but always remembered.

Well TD, as you stated...setbacks! keep us posted huh. Good luck!!:yin:

Courage Hi ya TD, well, when first reading your last post, it sounded like you were going to give up. But, towards the end, your determination came through, and thats great to see. Dont let your limitations get the better of you. They only prevent you doing certain things, not everything...

Today is the Tomorrow you were worried about Yesterday

Tenshinaikidoka, thanks for your reply. I agree in part with your statements. However, the web is full of lies and mis-truths. I could claim that I am his student (although I'm not, but I'd like to be), and claim that as a truth, because I say it is, and it says so on my website, and I have...

With respect to those who have posted, and to the Sensei that are involved, these statements/arguments appear to be the same that used to be on the "Official" SS site years ago. Rather than use this forum for establishing who is actually a student of Seagal Shihan, and who is ripping who off...

We're all deficient in one form or another. I can only imagine what these two had been like when they started training. They must have come very far from their beginnings. They were passed for a reason, and that is up to the Sensei. As it was put in another thread "aikido is not for correcting...

If a person has made an intention to cause you harm, that is they have verbalised a threat, displayed a threat through body language or what they may be carrying, and you percieve that as a physical threat.......then you would have grounds to use reasonable force to defend yourself. Self...

Congratulations on passing your grading!! now relax and spend a little more time on your weapons, if you have good technique there, use it. Also, if you focus more on what you find difficult, not only will you get better, but the things you have found 'easier'/have good ability in, will get...

Hey gals, nice to know I wasn't forgotten too much!! :) Basically, I've been extremely busy. I've popped back on a couple of occasions for a quick read, but I rarely have time for the net nowdays, don't have access either. Hope everyone is well!! I'm doing fine, had some life changing events...
