Google would have just picked it up through their spiders, nothing I actively did. The key is having links coming in to your site from sites that google already knows about, that's how they find you, and as you grow more such links, your rankings grow. Thanks!

I trained with your father in Miami during the summer of 1971. Of all the people I ever saw performing karate, he was the very finest. Amazing techniques that I never saw matched. I know a little about his personal life during that time. I sure would like to drop him an email if at all possible. Please let me know if you know how I could contact him if you think that would be appropriate. J Musick Ms. Donovan,

He will not be with us long. He left my mother and me when I was young. We lost touch for a very long time, but recently came back in touch a little. It still always shocks me to find these little bits of him all over the place. Was he REALLY the superman everyone says he is?

Arigato gozaimasu.

In fact I don't really take karate for defense or fighting (hence why I rarely go to fight night) -- to me it's just another set of asanas which I practice for the same reasons I take yoga and meditate. Plus it's less mind numbing than going to the gym : ) But that said, a guru might well say that part of becoming a martial artist is in gaining mindfulness -- particulary being mindful enough to avoid situations where one might wind up staring down the barrel of a gun. But then I suppose that was precisely Akusawa's lesson. Indeed.

He denied it. I feel for you; but I will share another of Sensei Akusawa's lessons, taught to me while we were in traffic one day in Memphis. He pulled a Colt .45 ACP from under the driver's seat, whipped it up to my temple in a flash, and asked me: "What good is your karate now"? I believe some wannabe tough guy administered a similar lesson to Bruce Lee, with more disastrous results. Speaking as one who finally saw Kill Bill 2 and thought it was an entertaining cartoon.
