Hangtime’s Training Log

[hangtime]

Tap, tap, tap...is this thing on?


Hey guys, I’m back. A lot has happened since I was here and K4L. I think I have 2 more kids, I’ve quit teaching, took a break and subsequently gone back to karate. My eldest is a student now as well. :-)

I’ve paid more attention to weight lifting than anything else. :-)

I’ve been working towards getting prepped to test for my sandan (funny: autocorrect changed that to Sandman...), provided I’m allowed to and training goes well.

I’ll try to make a better effort of hanging out here on KFDC and keeping this log updated. :-)

OSU!

Hey hangtime!!! Glad to see you around! You ever hear from Sandman? I have not checked on K4L in a long time.

Welcome back!

Hey meguro and @mmx!

Nope, haven't heard from Sandman in awhile. We traded emails probably a few years ago and he was thinking about getting back into karate, though I'm not sure if he did and quit or it never happened.

My son received his "10th kyu" last night in class. I couldn't be more proud!

For me, training is...well...slow. Honestly, I'm pulled in several different directions and I need to hunker down and focus on karate. I'm not certain that I'll test, as I don't have the required number of events attended, but I am still putting the date out there as a target.

I will admit, I'm struggling a bit with "aging" having been out of class; I'm just not the same...lol. I have this...expectation and I'm just not getting there. It drives me nuts.

Use it or lose it, they say! I don't want to hear anything about aging from you guys until you are also getting AARP junk mail.

It's nice when the kids take an interest in your hobbies.

Well it ain't over till its over. So keep on trucking sir!
