IRON MAN vs. BRUCE LEE

Hope you have a great Birthday Tucci! We party after the game Friday night!!

Gentleman,

I wanted to plant a seed in this esteemed group of guys of a happening the first weekend in May. There is going to be a gathering to celebrate the pending nuptials of myself and Liz........but the women are not invited. A bachelor party is set to take place Sat. May 2nd at Miller Park in Milwaukee,WI. The Arizona Diamondbacks are traveling to Mil-town to entertain our beer guzzling crew.

If you have never experienced a Milwaukee tailgate here is your best and probably only opportunity to witness this incredible must see event to put on your bucket list.

My Brother has approximately 25 tickets to the game and all Dojo fans are invited.....scratch that..encouraged to join in the gathering.



The flights are cheap and I will find you a place to crash so the cost is not too prohibitive and they give beer free to all out of state visitors in Milwaukee as it is now the #1 export for the state.........thank God cause it used to be Milk and all you can drink milk is just not as appealing as all you can drink Beer.

So if you have never experienced the wonders of Miller Park or just want an excuse to get overly intoxicated, watch a baseball game, and get wild and crazy book a flight. Let me know if you have any questions. More info to come......but I just wanted to plant a seed since flights are cheap right now.


When: Sat. May 2nd
Where: Miller Park (Milwaukee, WI)
Why: Why Not

As fate would have it the Cobra Kai have finally come into our own as we head into the playoff stretch. We ended the season with a drubbing of our friendly rivals the Black-Sox of the co-sponsored Gators. The first encounter was heated and we almost had a bench clearing brawl to finish the season as we got in the heads of our rivals and their pitcher Hedstrom thought DonJuan came barreling into home plate just a bit too aggressive and felt he was trying to take out their catcher.

The post game atmosphere was ominous at our friendly Gators as they were bitter in defeat as we mercy ruled them in the 5th. However, it was more like when you get angry at your older brother after he beats you down again in 1 on 1 hoops. Your pissed at him and want to complain about something, but ultimately you know you lost and he is your brother so you let it go the next day and just wait and plot for your rematch.

Well, in the 1st Round of the playoffs the Black Sox got their much anticipated rematch. The Kai struck first scoring a run in the 1st inning on some crafty hitting and base running. However, our bats stalled for the next few innings and our defense had to carry us through as we were stuck in a back and forth battle with the Sox.
Mikey Lemiuex continued his solid hitting keeping the order alive in the middle and Roundhouse Reger stepped in and upped the tempo of the game in the 4th inning. Rob has been crushing the ball as of late and he had yet another incredible performance to the dismay of the Black Sox. Reger belted a 3 Run HR to get things going for the Kai as he completely owns the Black Sox pitching.

The Swami was the master of the Mound baffling the Sox all day for a second straight game and he owned DC once again recording his 3rd K of the night. Johnny Blaze had a solid day patrolling the infield and showing off his B-ball skills by using his long reach to snag a dangerous pop fly that could have been trouble if not for his go-go gadget arms. Roundhouse Reger also had solid play at 3rd Base stealing a few hits away from the sox and even gunning down a poor hitter from his knees across the pond. Regs was also part of a great relay to home where Big Daddy Guttierez was waiting for his throw and laid down a beautiful tag to stop the Black Sox attack and end the inning essentially saving the game.


However, the star of the night was none other than Koko himself. Koko had a great pick-up snag at 1st base pouncing on an errant ball like a Cobra to preserve the out. Then just when the Kai needed him to come through the most he crushed a ball down the left field line for game winning hit driving in a pair of runs and erupting the Cobra Kai bench and Red Bug Lake Crowd.

“I had been saving my superman underroos for just the right night and this past Friday I put them on and got ready to show the Red Bug lake crowd the power they bring” said Koko after the game. Double S also made his presence known by starting the rally by battling a 3-2 count and fighting his way to 1st base to set the table for Koko’s heroics.

Needless to say we celebrated in style at Gators and broke our team record of 63 pitchers.

Well, We look to advance once again this Friday night as we take on the Chosen few in the 2nd round of the playoffs. See you Under the Friday night lights.

I don't know if any of you guys have ever seen this show but it's hillarious. Kevin Smith created it.

I know it has been a while since I posted anything, so I figured I would ask the Kai members for any and all advice they might have on cutting weight. I am willing to listen to anything besides cutting my arms off or complete starvation. The final cut day isn't for a month but I am plateauing and need some new ideas.

There are a bunch more of these on YouTube.

A brand new edition of "Reel Reviews with Koko" has been posted for your reading pleasure.

I recently read an interesting article debating famous Bro-Mances in history. I was curious to hear the Dojo's reaction to famous Bro-Mances.

Naturally, the article caught my attention for obvious reasons but here is a para-phrase:

"Do you think the relationship between Rocky and Apollo could be considered the original bromance?

No way. The original bromance was Lewis and Clark. I'd break down the others like this: Costanza and Seinfeld (funniest); Norm and Cliff (second funniest); Diggler and Rothchild (third funniest); Borat and Azamat (grossest); Kimmel and Carolla (drunkest); Puffy and Biggie after Biggie died (most shameless):Kurt Warner and Jesus (most inspirational); Jules and Vincent Vega (most violently entertaining); Kobe and Shaq (most destructive)Damon and Affleck (wealthiest)and Red and Andy (the greatest bromance ever), with Red and Andy's beach hug in Mexico doubling as the single greatest bromance moment."

Wow......some pretty impressive Bro-Mance labels there. I think you get the picture. Let's name the Dojo's favorite's.

Here would top my list:
1.) JW and Rich
2.) Mikey and Sandy Johnson
3.) Shake & Bake
4.) Manny & Big Popi
5.) Torre & Don Zimmer

I'm just getting started.......

Before the newly renovated Yankee Stadium opened in 1976, the organization wanted to ask all of its great, past players to give their most memorable moment in the stadium. The following letter is the actual response from the great Mickey Mantle. Just click on the letter to read it.

This one goes out to you JW!

This is the Dojo Brotha!!!


Much has been discussed about our rough beggining to the season. Well, there won't be a recap for this weeks game, since I think we all know what went down and we all know how to fix it.

We have what it take to compete and win in this league all we have to do is show up and play like we are capable of playing. No excuses, No Whining.....let's just show up and play this Friday!

But somewhere along the line, we changed. We stopped being the Cobra Kai. We let people like Xavy stick a finger in our face and tell you were no good. And when things got hard, we started looking for something to blame, like a harder league.

Let me tell you something we already know. The leauge ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!

Now if we know what were worth then let's go out and get what were worth. But we gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying we ain't where we wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that aint the Cobra Kai Way!!!!!!!!! Now, let's go out there this Friday and Win God Dammit!
