Great job everyone!

NOW!!!!

The Juniors were ahead last tournament by one competitor. So, it would seem, that this tournament was a tie with 8 juniors and 8 seniors, BUT!!!!! Andy competed in TWO Divisions! That ties it up! It's a clean slate again!

Awesome job, everyone!

Last night, I was listening to Sensei Heiko discuss the recent tournaments and their various outcomes and it was very encouraging to me. Getting out there is more than half of the battle, and for that you should all be very proud. It has encouraged me to do something that I haven't done much in the past three years...shiai. So for that, thank you to all of you Bushido Kai competitors! Win or lose, you are laying it all on the line...great job.

So here is a great closing quote, and I will give a big plate of home made Christmas cookies to the first person who can tell me not only who said it (because that is easy thanks to Google), but exactly where I got this quote from. I guarantee that you have all seen it at least once (hint hint), and Sensei Heiko can't play...he knows everything.

"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled or the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by sweat and dust and blood, who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in worthy causes; who at the best, knows in the end of the triumph of high achievement, and who at worst if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat."

I bet he was a brown belt. He also spoke softly and carried a big stick.

You know it! Do you know where I got that quote from though? Also...I don't think he's a brown belt anymore, right?
