Adventures and Sudden Realizations.

3 (New Scars).

I've done a lot of stupid stuff over the years and collected some interesting scars because of it. Here's just a few of them 🙂

A Tale of a Lost Bo, a War of Pennies, and Blue Hair

D.C. was a blast, but there was a tragedy, then there was so many boards broken and hair that turned blue! Oh my Stars and Garters you gotta check this one out!

Planes, Trains, and Ubers. Oh, My!

A few weeks ago (already, where does the time go,) I was happily sitting in the Chicago airport, waiting patiently for my flights to get rolling, and for a great weekend in DC. I was heading to the U.S. Capitol Classics/China Open and I was PUMPED. I'd never been and I'd only ever heard great …

Driving, Karate, and Travel, Oh my!

Last we saw the intrepid hero (me). I had just gotten back from Quebec (and here's the review!) and was a little razzed out from a phenomenal weekend with great people and a whole lot of martial arts. But wait, the fun didn't stop there. For the next two weeks all I did was drive …

Travel Thoughts

On June 4, 2019 By CorwinIn Adventure, Blog, Ka-Ra-Te, Team AKALeave a comment

Three weeks ago (I think) I was in the Toronto airport at something like 5 AM to catch a flight that I had been booted off of the night before due to too many people being on the plane. Not because I was misbehaving, or anything like that. But, during this groggy, somewhat hazy experience, …

Something, something, PASSION

The importance of heroes, change, and unlimited hustle. Also a cat picture.

A(nother) Thing Happened

New Happening! Most notable, I'm now three decades old.

Karate, Travel, and a HAIRCUT!

That Certain Something

On July 1, 2018July 31, 2018 By CorwinIn Because I Want To, Ka-Ra-Te, Ruminations2 Comments

I'm stuck on this idea of passion. Again. There is something I feel I'm lacking. So much is happening right now that is good and right, but at the same time, there's this pervasive sense I'm missing something important. I hope I'm making the right calls and following through in the correct manner. But I'll …

That photo is me, feeling very much like Batman, sparring in a testing for my next belt. I remember thinking I was pretty good 😂
This was supposed to be a “go easy” event. It ended up with a first in Traditional Weapons and then winning the Overall Grands for 30+.
Happy Valentines Day to the most glamorous lady I know. From weddings, to bookshops, and every random coffee stop in between - there’s no other human I’d want to be with ❤️💖💕
I met Grandmaster Likes when I was 11. Over the course of 23 years we traveled the world, competed at the highest levels, and he was my center Jude countless times - in tournaments where I excelled, and where I didn’t (he was always sure to let me know).
I don’t post much about wins or tournaments - but this one felt good. Thanks to everyone for all the love, high-fives and support throughout the weekend. You’re ALL the real MVP’s ❤️
Between injuries, Covid, work, and everything in-between it’s been hard to get the time to train. Or even WANT to train.
2022 was a YEAR - getting engaged, weddings, travel, graduations, promotions, and far more than I can possibly include in one post. To everyone that has been there for the late nights, early mornings, 2am airport runs, and on the mats all over the world. THANK YOU!
Obligatory travel selfie
2 years down, at least 2 more to go 🙃
Not bad for the first time back on the mats - thanks to everyone who cheered, shouted, and generally made the weekend amazing!
It’s your birthday! So, basically the best day of the year! Make sure to give @bitchypritchie lots of love today, 31 has never looked so good!
Summer daaaaaazze
