I've long heard of the charm and mystique of the Australian gentleman. Legends of how with a simple turn of phrase any woman is putty in his arms.

I see now that this is true...

That's very cool, Brad! I'm sure that's a great memory for discussion, and those shared moments are very special.

I think that couples who share a passion for the same activities are well-suited, and can overcome many obstacles together.

Osu!

Osu Mate,

yeah we have had many obstacles to overcome, both karate-wise and outside of the dojo..

politics seems to play its part in every organisation, as i mentioned i had already started training when we met, and belonged to different dojo within the branch. (here in geelong we are spoilt for choice, close to 30 dojo within 30 mins of travelling time of each other training mostly on different nights of the week, so if you want you can train every day, all for the same price as you pay to your 'home' dojo) late last year her head instructor (due to reasons i wont go into on here) resigned/split/was asked to leave from our branch and aligned himself under our australian head of the organisation, Hanshi taylor.. so still in the same australian branch, but by-passing the victorian branch chief if you like... so anyway.. we now have, in the same household, 2 different branches of the one organisation.... as you may imagine this was a very stressful event, but we seem to be able to handle it for the most part... she took part in my grading, im welcome to train with them... there however isnt alot of cross over by any other students...

im of course good friends with people from both sides, spending quite alot of social time with her instructor as they are close friends and also with my head instructor..

difficult situation, but as they say Dent... No Pressure, No Diamonds

Osu

Sheesh! You're not kidding. I try and stay away from all that entertainment, but in the same house?!

I don't know why the resistance to it. I did it at our New Year training, and I'll be allowed out of the basement any day now...

Sounds like a wise decision. My wife and kids are vivid dreamers, and prone to lashing out in their sleep, so I think my insomnia may actually just be a safety mechanism.

This resembles, "Nothing..." too much. The more I think about it, the more I reckon you not only did something wrong, you haven't recognized your error yet, and it's only a matter of time before another lesson is headed your way.
