Life and other distractions!

History . Karate . PoliticsYou read right, it is all the rage, we are tired of going to competitions and having to deal with this insanely unfair Karate Electoral College.

Gun Grab…I mean Control!

A Horrible Tragedy
Articles of Interest . Training notes . VideoI almost didn’t share this because of how traumatic it is, but the potential to raise everyone’s safety awareness out weighs the uncomfortableness of the video.
