We're All Cracked Pots

- We're All Cracked Pots is a story my father has told to his students frequently over the years.
This story is about loss, depression, imperfection. This story is also about truth, inner beauty and love. This story teaches us that even though we're imperfect and muster many flaws, we're still human. As humans we make mistakes, we get lost, we lose faith.
I lost my way for a minute there, but now I'm back and better than ever. I'm taking this channel to new heights and I'm going to be showcasing what I love and what I'm good at... Martial Arts!
Let's do this 2020! TANG SOOOOOOO!!

A story about imperfection, a story about recovery, a story about life. Here is a look into my life that some of you might not know.
To the tune of a story about two pots, one perfect and the other slightly imperfect, this time I'm the story teller...

I'm back. Give me an Aiyah! If you're still with me...
Sensei Ichi AIYAH!!!!!
Aiyah!!!!!
Aiyah!!!!
AIYAH!
Aiyah!
I just returned from my lunch workout at the dojo. So glad to see you back at it. In life, it is so easy to lose perspective. I'm glad you are finding the path. As a Christian, I have learned that God loves me in spite of my imperfections and gives grace. I am a shodan now and I am still learning and growing. This is the way. (and yes that is a Mandalorian easter egg)
How'd it go? Thank you , its great to be back on this grind. I missed it!
It was easy to lose sight for a minute there, but I'm glad I found my way again. Thank you for your kind words and keeping me in your thoughts.
Keep learning and growing and I will too, that is all. I have spoken......
Sensei Ichi the testing was long. Because I have such a busy schedule my Sensei broke down the testing into two days. Altogether it was 9 hours. We did physical fitness, sparring, kata, technique, and written testing. I also did a tournament a week after putting on Shodan.
Take the time to Honor all your cracks Sir, not just the Martial Arts part... take it from a Martial Artist with Cerebral Palsy... those are the tools God uses to craft the unique beauty of your life...nice to see you again... Wonderful re-emergence! I look forward to admiring the growth.
Thank you so much! Impressive that you train with your condition, very impressive and admirable. Thank you again, I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts about all the videos I've created during this time off. Stay tuned!
Been praying for you sir it is good to have u back , sometimes you have to be still and know that God has u . We all Go threw seasons in life where we walk threw the desert a bit because we stop growing mentally, spiritually, physically. And God has u where he needs you .trust in the lord with all your heart, and not lean on your own understanding acknowledge Him and He will direct your path. Aliyah !! Love to meet u some day be blessed in Jesus name
Thank you so much, that is very very kind of you. It's good to be back after that walk through the darkness and back into the light.
Loved the video and glad you're back! I always try (emphasis on TRY) to take a break during over the summer at some point and over winter 'cause I usually need it and then when I get back to it I'll full of passion and focus for all my creative outlets including business, videos and of course martial arts! Here's hoping your break was good for you and would love to hear a little about your headspace coming back!
Thank you so much!
Yessss. Taking a break in life and in everything we do is so important, it helps make the things we do more rewarding when we get back to them. I definitely needed that break and I'm so stoked to be making videos again. I've already filmed so many already and I love all of them, can't wait for everyone to see them.
Very beautiful video!
Thank you so much, I put a lot of my heart and soul into it. It's very personal to me.
Happy New Year! Glad to see you’re back to making videos. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos. Tang Soo!
Happy new year to you too! Thank you so much for your warm wishes, its good to be back.
Aiyah! Judging from this vid, we have so many of the same interests, it's scary, lol. Love the T-Bucket. Glad you're back, this means two of my favorite martial artists are back in the youtube game this year.
Hahah right on! I'm glad we have so much in common, makes this relationship so much more relatable. Thank you, thank you! That is very kind of you to say and list me as a favorite. I'm honored, truly honored. I'm back and ready to fire out some new videos, can't wait for you to see them! Stay tuned...
Very inspirational and up lifting!
I appreciate that!
Hello Sensei Ichi how have you been? Nice to see your videos, once again on UA-cam. Glad to see your martial arts odyssey, throughout the years, in this video. I hope that you and your loved ones, had a blessed, holy and memorable Christmas. May 2020 bring you the very best of good health, success, prosperity, as well as gratification and fulfillment, in all your dreams, aspirations and personal endeavors for this year, as well as the future. Happy New Year Sensei Ichi, to you and your students, as well as your lovely parents and family. Looking forward to your videos, greetings as always, from Melbourne 🇦🇺🇲🇽Australia. Osu!👍✌😊👊Juan.
Hello Juan! I have been well thank you. But how have you been ? What is happening over there is just awful , I'm so sorry if you and your family are suffering from the fires.
Thank you so much for your kind words and blessings. I hope you are safe and remain that way. Happy holidays and happy new year to you sir!
@@SenseiIchi my family and I, are all well here in Australia, thank you for your care and concern. The bush fires here in Australia, have been ablaze in the country, bush areas of our nation. Those of us living in cities such as Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Hobart, Adelaide, Perth and Darwin, were not endangered, nor affected by it.
The winds did however push the smoke into the cities, causing fogs for a few days! Other than that, thanks be to God, we did not endure any perilous or endangering conditions. Some people unfortunately who live in those bush fire affected zones, lost their homes, possessions and livelihoods. Also some wildlife animals, unfortunately also died as a result of the bush fires. Other than that last year, on a more positive note, one instructor was presented with his second dan black belt and certificate, also two other people and myself, were also officially awarded our third dan black belts and certificates, from the Kyokushin Karate central headquarters in Japan, at our Kyokushin Karate Summer Camp, on the 7th of September 2019, last year! I hope that you are having a pleasant week, as well as an amazing start to the year. Looking very much forward to your new video projects, on your UA-cam channel, Osu!🇦🇺🇲🇽🥋✌
AIYAH! Good to have you back, Sensei. Year of the cracked pot!
Thank You! Let the year of the cracked pot begin!
Aiyah! happy new year sensei osu👊
Johnny! Good to hear from you again, thank you! Happy new year to you as well!

@@gracakbranimir155 What's your favorite part ?
@@SenseiIchi When dr.strange opened all the portals and all the avengers come at the start of the last battle.
Excellent! Was that a little you doing peyong ahn 4 early in the vid?
hahah yes it was! It's the only footage I have of me when I was little . I'm very happy to have it though, I love to watch it to remember where I came from and how much I've grown. It's almost like watching my child preform, seeing the potential there. Thank you watching and commenting!
Your video editing style reminds me of peter McKinnon and I love it
Yess!! Your comment made my day! Thank you , that is very complimentary. Perter Mckinnon is one of my favorites and I admire his style and use his work as my inspiration for my vids.
Hes my favorite too that's why I picked it up right away🤟🏼 keep on pumping out sick content and keeping real martial arts alive
Aiyah
Woot woot!
I know a lot of cracked pots.
Don't we all...
