Pumpkins fear us!
Apparently, our instructor picked this up from a guy he trained with in Texas. We bring all our old pumpkins left over from Halloween and then practice cutting them into little bits with a live blade. (We're lucky in that our instructors neighbor carved 110 pumpkins this year and let us take what we wanted  This was the first time I've gotten to participate in this bit of fun....and the first time I've gotten to do more than just look at a live blade. It was fun and wildly educational. It's amazing how, with the right body mechanics (don;t jsu tmusle the sword with your arm) how easily they cut. The goal was to take as thin a slice as possible off the target....make as many little pieces as you could. Anyway, wanted to share how cool this was. Can't wait for next year. Peace, Erik

Re: Pumpkins fear us!
Hi bluekey.
We do the pumpkin cutting every year here in Houston with the Bellaire Dojo . Who is your instructor? I have been involved with the Bellaire Dojo for many years and was wondering if he trained with us.

My instructor is Kurt Haines. He used to train out in Texas, that's where he said he picked this up.

Well tell Kurt that Robert & Threz said HI. He is a real good guy and you are lucky to be training with him.

Re: Pumpkins fear us!
Will do. I'm grateful to have found such a good instructor in my area. Hooking up with his training group is in my top 3 MA training finds.
