Going back to Cali

Hi JJcruiser,
I posted a reply on a topic and after I reread it I realized, with no expressions in typing things can sometimes come off funny (1/2 the time it's just my bonehead fault though because I come off different then what I mean). I hope in that reply I gave I didn't sound like i was being a punk. I didn't mean to if I did.
I would like to tell you that I appreciate your feedback and thank you for being friendly to me, it's hard being the new guy on here. I have gotten ragged on a little.


P.S. Your dojo is called Shotokan....Like in Karate? Do you practice that as well?

Thanks for the mature comment regarding sexual harassment. As a person with children myself it's always nice to meet a responsible adult.

wow, bit late, but thanks alot for the rep!

Hey jj, here is my match from sunday. so let me know which dojo you may practice at in Socal. if it isn't too far & I'm off from work I'll come.

My Ai-Jodan Match against an experienced San Dan ready to test for Yon Dan quite a few people thought eventually I would get the point since I was getting 2 to three one flags (I think all the Judges raised there flags at different times--just not all together lol)

Thanks for the rep!

Hi Jason you figured me out its Ed.

Ha now I've found you here. MEN !!!!!

Thanks for the rep. I agree, with confidence comes relaxation. If you're not confident, it's nearly impossible to relax properly. At the moment I'm just trying to relax and I don't really give much thought about confidence. Be it my sensei, sempai, kohai, it doesn't matter to me. I approach all of them the same way in keiko. I'm still very much on the tip of the iceberg of this but hopefully it will lead to something good.

Thanks! Glad you liked the post.

Thanks for the Rep! First time!!!
