I have no romantic notions of what it means to be a warrior. I served in the United States Marine Corps and worked for ten years as a deputy sheriff. I have seen the dead and the dying, the deliberate and the accidental. I have seen people shot, cut, burned, beaten, strangled, crushed, [...]]]></description>

A big thanks to everyone who helped make our Christmas party a success.  Good friends and good food&#8211;what more could you ask?
We&#8217;re keeping the dojo decorated through the holiday season, so if you&#8217;re quick, you can still find some cookies stashed near the Christmas tree.  I also understand Santa&#8217;s elves took some pictures, [...]]]></description>

Or rather, was plagued, before receiving my yudansha. And like Dr. Bennell, I still see them, these pod people, everywhere, at seminars, at other dojo, and sometimes, close to home. They are a contagion.
But I am getting ahead of myself. Allow me to explain.
Several years ago, as a yukyusha [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I spent the morning reading Debra Crampton&#8217;s blog, Riding Between Heaven &#38; Earth. For those who may not know, Crampton Sensei is an Aikido 5th dan and instructor at New York Aikikai.
The blog is a great read; what particularly drew my attention, however, was this post: the weaker sex.
Don&#8217;t mess with Miss Whitley.
