The swellings gone down mostly, but it still hurts like (insert explicative here). I trained today in Fort Lauderdale with the Roppokai group, and I made it through without too much trouble. Seiza hurts like a mother, but kiza grants me a bit of a requiem from it.

And the spear... Had to give thanks where it was due for the ability to train with you and practice it when you aren't here. A small token.

[Howard Popkin]

Take care of it .

See you soon,

Well Howard will understand this but I have a question for you Bill.... by chance did you get hurt doing photography did you and was Howards first words "I Didn't Do It!!!"???

[Howard Popkin]

Heeeeyyyy,

I was across the room from you and wasn't in the same state when Bill hurt his foot.

I'm only dangerous to Tuna :)

Hope to see you soon,

I was there. I saw it all. Howard projected his "Ki" and without touching Brian, Howard made him fall down. The most amazing Ki-Master demonstration ever. :hypno:

[Howard Popkin]

Mark,

The only "Ki" was the relaxed energy from the beer :)

LOL! So, if it was beer, then it could be said you were drink-ki-ing, er drinking. Hiccup :D

Hope you're doing well! Been busy on this side of things.

[Howard Popkin]

From having trained with Howard, I would say that if it was at all within your means, an opportunity to train with Okamoto Sensei should not be passed up. Get there if you can! :)
