Go Samantha!!!!

[Mekosho]

Hey, just thought I would share this with you guys cause I wanna brag her up, but my neice, Sam, who has studied Shotokan Karate under Mark Pinner since she was 4 years old...lol, she is 22 now...is going to be trying out for the "Pan Am" games next month! Again, this post has no point or theory or whatever, just wanted to share that with you Shotokan people!

 

[Fightback2]

Good luck to her. You go girl!

 

[Pacificshore]

Right on....and Good Luck!

I'm not a Shotokan person, but anyone who has studied MA for that long is definitely dedicated. Good Luck, Samantha!! artyon:

Those swollen feet and black eye are signs of pure dedication and determination on making the team. She definately has the heart. I certainly wouldn't question that. BTW, where in Chicago are the tryouts being held? I live about an hour from Chicago and maybe I can make it there if my work schedule allows and cheer her on. If not then please send her all of our best and looking forward to the good news. Best regards, Steve
