About me: After being out of the karate business I am proud to announce that I am teaching once again at a brand new karate school at the intersection of 22nd. Street and Harrison. With the loving support of my gorgeous wife, Karen, my dreams are coming true. I want to thank Karen for everything. Karen you will never know what you mean to me. I also want to thank Shawn Knight, my instructor, for his friendship and support, for all these years. I also want to thank my extended AIK family; Lee Sprague, Steve McCoy, and Andrew & Daylene Pilch, Rebecca Knight, and all the rest of AIK for all that they have done for me. Without you guys, it ain't happening. Also, I want to thank my son, Remington F. Howden. Remy you are my pride and joy! I could not be more proud. To those of you that honor me by allowing me to enter your life as your, or your child's instructor, there are no words to express my gratitude. I am truly humbled by your vote of confidence.
Who I'd like to meet: Anybody that is not buying a car!
Thank you sir so much for all you both do! Every time we walk into class I know that my daughter is truly blessed by the firm love you show. It feels awesome to be a part of your family! God bless! See you tonight!
So this past week the kids and I were followed by a really creepy guy as we walked into a book store. I started thinking of hammer fists and rear kicks..
You don't teach forms that account for holding a baby on your hip. ;)
If you like Clancy, you'd like a guy named Vince Flynn. He writes about a CIA assassin that travels around killing/torturing terrorists with no remorse. I think he may be better than Clancy...
