The new Karate kid movie was very 21st century.  In the original, the kid had to work hard and learn.  It was believable to a point.  There was a bad guy to hate.  Johnny was a guy who you hated until you felt bad for him at the end.  This movie was more “Matrix” than “Karate kid”.  The kids will like it and the scenery was beautiful.  It is a good movie to watch on DVD.

Fans of the original should watch this:

Here is a creed that I wrote a while back and I still try to follow it today.

HONESTY

Be honest to yourself and others.  Always tell the truth.

COURTESY

Be courteous to all you meet.  Treat everyone and everything with compassion.

RESPECT

Respect your family, friends, teachers and anyone you meet. Respect your home and your dojo as if it were your home.

DISCIPLINE

Have the discipline to do your best in everything you do.  Self discipline is a sign of true Black Belt attitude.


Black belt is is not a piece of cloth tied around your waist.  It is a feeling inside you that strives you to  achieve more and do your best in everything you do!

Master George

PS – remember to be happy at what you are doing right now! Success is a pleasure.  Wherever you are, be  there – be there at that moment and live for the moment and even in good or bad situation, try to find a way to get something out of the experience.

Once a week I do a private class with Al.  He is planning to visit India and wanted some special training.  We chose the cane because it was powerful and can be carried in public.  Check out the video.

Trevor and Ryan have some fun going at it and switching blows.  Both are Black belts and used control , but also had some fun just trading blows.  Trevor finish it at the end with an awesome takedown. Enjoy!  Remember – these guys are Black belts with over 5 years of training and are used to sparring.
