    I'm back from my weekend excursion...

    Went to Camp Clearfork, Arkansas for our annual Taiho-Ryu Training Camp. 16 years I've been in Taiho-Ryu, and been to camp.

    My father started teaching me when I was 8 years old. He's one of the senior instructors (one of five), and a fifth degree black belt. I'm his assistant instructor, and have been teaching for about six years.

    A few years ago we found out that the camp used to be a POW camp for German officers during WWII. We also learned that the dam was built by the POWs.

    It's a beautiful area surrounded by mountains. Lots of fresh air, and lots of spiders (especially Brown Recluses). While my photos haven't been developed yet, there are a few from a couple of years ago that I can share to show a bit of the camp grounds.


    Here's one of with the black belts (including me):

    This one is my dad teaching:

    This one is Sensei (Sensei Hardy, the founder of our system) about to tear Sensei Smith's (my god father) head half off: :twisted:

    If you guys would like to see more, I'll post them once they're developed.

    Most of my friends think I'm

    a masochist. :shock:

    Just because I like pain doesn't mean that I'm a masochist does it? :twisted:
