    Wow! An amazing job, but highly pressured job too! I will say mma gets the call right more often than boxing!

    @Soft_Hug84 Great pics!

    Oops wrong tag earlier!

    I'm huge into Kendo right now (practicing), though it's only been a few weeks, if that counts. I've been watching older videos since February of this year and I think it's really interesting

    @PantSeatPilot of course it counts! Welcome to the club. I've mainly seen kendo in movies: My Sassy Girl and The Last Samurai.

    @cylee1180 It's really different, coming from jujutsu. Feels very unstable at first, and then you kinda get it going like a bike.

    Never seen either movie, but Suguha from SAO was the first time I saw it, then I got into Musashi (anime from the 80s) and Bamboo Blade. Now I'm reading 5 rings.

    The real thing is way more difficult than it seems

    I follow Karate; specifically the dojos of Miyagi-Do, Cobra Kai, and

    in Reseda, CA. The All Valley Under-18 Karate Championship tournament is exciting to watch and has been getting pretty serious as of late.

    @cylee1180 😂 I am excited to see it

    @Charlie_Bear Kinda lost interest after season 2. Seems they lost the freshness of season 1 and turned it into a soap opera. Any new bits from the new ones ?

    I have loved every season, though I also love teen drama so each season has just gotten better and better for me. In the third season, they incorporated some characters from Karate Kid Part 2, and the current season brings back a character from Karate Kid Part 3. I like the direction it’s going lol. The dojos the kids were aligned with in season 1 has taken a dramatic shift.

    @Charlie_Bear Sounds good! I think it was the nostalgia that got me. I know pple who love the series .
