Just thought I would say Hello
It has been a while and things have been super busy for us down here. My knee while not 100% has healed nicely and with that a boat load of stuff that had to wait kind of jumped me all once.
Anyway, just thought I would check in and perhaps we can get together for some training.

Re: Just thought I would say Hello
 ABSOLUTELY!
Great to hear from you. Knees, as you know, take a long time to heal properly.....it was a full three years after surgery before I regained ANY stability in my knee. Still have a limp. Course you are considerably younger than I was.....makes a big difference in recovery.
Glad to hear that you are back in the swing of things....
We have a BIG event coming up on the 24th of this month ...which we are getting ready for..
The Annual Iron Mountain Festival which is a city-wide downtown event...streets blocked off...lasts all day. For the past three years we have presented an hour-long program to kick things off, so to speak,at 9:00am..
We do a board break...300-500 boards depending on the generosity of our benefactor ...and we present short demos between breaks....We start collecting pledges about three weeks before the event and then auction off demos and breaks throughout the day. Last year we raised $3,100.00 for the Lawrence County Food Bank. A good day for us....AND for the Food Bank.
We will see what our schedule will allow after the 24th. You KNOW you are welcome to visit at any time! Sure would like to get some more sword training scheduled for us.
Great to hear from you...our regards to your family and students...
Stay in touch

Re: Just thought I would say Hello
Will do we have a testing that same weekend. Anytime you want to do some sword training, let me know. We can do anything from ultra traditional to competition/show sword.
Also, just some good clean training would be cool.
Look forward to checking in with you after the 24th.

Re: Just thought I would say Hello
How about a joint testing? Logistical issues for sure but maybe for those that could attend a testing at Mr. Yowells or vice versa. Maybe a split for those who could and those who couldnt. Could you imagine the sparring sessions with all the unknowns???? The friendships that could develop and the martial arts partnerships that could continue for years to come.

Re: Just thought I would say Hello
A joint testing sounds great at some point if the logistics can be worked out. I think it would certainly be a good experience for my students and the curriculums are very similiar owing to our similiar origins.
I will leave whether or not to persue this up to Master Weeks as he is older and wiser, but I have no objections to arranging a future combined testing.
I look forward to coming up and working with you guys soon. It feels really good to be able to train and do a lot of the stuff I used to do regularly again. Having to accept that my knee might not permit me to do some things, but hey I am blessed and still have been graced with the ability to do a whole lot of what I once did! The Lord is good!
I can come up and do some sword, or just come up and take a class from Master Weeks in the near future. It is all good and you can't beat coming together in friendship.
Jamie

Re: Just thought I would say Hello
Ok, again possibly speaking out of rank, but just throwing ideas around. How about a joint testing or even a seminar type training with your upper belts and ours. Maybe on a Saturday if we need too. Again, sparring with people off the streets to eliminate the unknowns could be a real test for us that have been training together for years.
