Once and a life time experience - TyeDyeTwins - 06-01-2013 Last memorial day weekend I had a fish trip that was a once and a life time experience. I arrived at Millcreek Canyon at 5:30am to reserve my spot. I decided to start the day with the best meditation there is...... As I was catching this brown trout I totally forgot all about the stress of the 8 hour black belt test coming up that has been 10 years in the making. I was going to eat the little guy but go figure my stomach was knotted up. Then came the forums................... The Dojo family (father, daughter, and son in law) And for your viewing pleasure the combat at the end.

You don't mention that you passed the test, but i assume you did. Congrats! Nice looking fish too.

The kick to the head really rung my bell. I did have a nice cuncussion to deal with after that but at least I got back in there and tried to get him back. I did pass the test and tonight the master is going to present my rank to me after he punches me in the stomach as hard as he can.[shocked] [signature] Re: [TyeDyeTwins] Once and a life time experience - Erawk - 06-01-2013 Nice work, TDT.

I have been teaching and taking martial arts for 10 years. I plan on doing it for the rest of my life! At first I just wanted to learn to defend myself, later it bled into every aspect of my life. Now I cannot see myself being the person I am today without it. [signature] Re: [TyeDyeTwins] Once and a life time experience - RockyRaab - 06-01-2013 I certainly hope that getting kicked in the head is indeed a once IN a lifetime experience.
