What a Long Strange Trip It's Been

[Kido Ryu]

Hello everyone
Thanks Amos, G-Man, Lotus, Mama san, Xeo, and Suzi, for the warm welcome.
I have just returned home to Phoenix, AZ. last week,
What a long strange trip it's been
I won't go into a lot of details, but I'll touch on some of the highlights though
I bought a truck in South Carolina and after a few weeks it broke down and left me stranded. Being the survivor that I am, I managed to find work and a place to stay. (which isn't easy without a car)
While trying to figure out what was wrong with my truck, I happened into a little Karate dojo ran by a 5th Dan. She was pretty cool and taught a traditional style. After talking to her on a few occasions, we decided that it would be good for her students to learn some throws. Her dojo was set up with a private room in the back.
So I taught a couple of weekend seminars in exchange for the use of the room. In which I taught a couple of private students.

I was staying in a little ran down hotel at Folly Beach, SC. with the beach just outside my window. I could sit out on the beach at night listen to the waves crash into the shore and play the flute. That was my favorite part of the trip.

All I can say is.... I'm glad to be home and I should be able to pop in from time to time

Take care all

Respectfully,
Rev.Dean

Ya know, it'd be cool if you ever Came up here and taught some of Botsudo(Hah I remembered!) in seminars up here ^_^

Disciple, it's probably what you think it means, Reverand Dean....I wonder if he'll tell the story cause I don't know how he got it...lol

Desciple Hello, How are you today.
I have added a home page to my profile. It more or less describes who I am and what I am about. Feel free to check it out when you have the chance.

So will there ever be a need for Dredd anymore?

 

[Disciple]

Rev. Dean,

I'm glad to see you are back from your extended trip. It sounds like S.C. was just where you were supposed to spend this time. A room by the beach with a view. Time to practice your craft. I think there was a bigger plan in motion.

Hello everyone,
I hope all are well today.
Thakns BB Lady, That's kinda how I feel about it.

Disciple, I'm glad you liked the home page. I use to have Video of myself doing technique but they took up to much band width for a free sight.
I'm trying to locate a place to start classes here in Phoenix and I'll be working on a Kido Ryu Jujitsu instructional video over the next year.

Respectfully,
Rev.Dean

Oh yeah.... G-man

You mad swine

Good to see you about Rev. Send me an e mail if you wish to catch up. I lost most of mine including yours when my e mail accounts were cleared!

 

[Lonewolf]

Hello Reverend,
glad to hear from you!
It's funny you went to Southern Carolina because not so long ago I ordered some SweatShirts from Hard Rock Cafe and they sent me Sweat Shirts from Myrtle Beach!
I have never been to USA yet but I guess it's a pleasant place,isn't it?
Peace!

Welcome back, Rev! "what a long strange trip it's been" ... hhmmm, now who sang that song? lol! Good to have you here again. Sometimes things work out for reasons we may never understand ... "we just have to decide what to do with the time that is given us" (LOTR).
In Oneness and Peace
