The Miss Dixie is a really nice ride on Lake Tahoe. Unfortunately, due to the fact that they were playing music the whole time, there were a few times that we had to mute the video due to copyright laws. I’m still trying to understand the rules because when you’re in public filming, if there’s music playing in public, I don’t know how that can be considered copyright. So throughout the video, there’s about 2 1/2 minute period of us muting the sound. So if you just want to see some beautiful scenery, sit back relax and enjoy Lake Tahoe with me 😊

Great place for a vacation 😊

Cool video aunt Donna!

Love your videos Donna! Love the Village too 😀

Thanks Donna! I will try some of these places I have not been too!❤

Very cool video! Fun to watch.

Who was the yellow belt working that form strong?

Awesome seeing how you teach the kids and make it fun for them as well!

Great memories

Good.

This is a fun video. It consist of some of the kids that are now 13 and 14 years old. It also shares kyoshi Reggie Walden‘s fight at the world games in London. Also, when you see the team moving a car it is because it was blocking our bus and the hotel cannot find the owner. So we had to physically move the car. You will also see a great kata from one of my Black Belts from about five years ago. Anyways, it’s a variety of a blast from the past. If you’d like it, please hit that light button, also subscribe so that you will receive my videos each week. of course comments are always welcome.

Perhaps this information may further buttress your position. “Transwomen do not have a physical advantage over cis women." This is false. Here’s why. There has been decades of research on physical advantages males have over females, and transwomen are almost always typical males with no sex development disorder. The strength difference between male and female bodies is vast. Equally trained males have 57% more grip strength,[1] 65% more leg strength,[2] 90% more total upper body strength,[3] and 162% more punch power.[4] To put these numbers in comparison, males are only 7% taller than females, yet on the population level we easily see the considerable height differences between them.[5] Percentages like 50-160% are therefore immense and have considerably less overlap between the sexes. But what about transwomen who suppress their testosterone? Do they retain an advantage? Yes. At baseline, depending on the sport, males have 10-50% advantage over an equally trained female. For transwomen on T suppression, their muscle mass/strength parameters (the main source of their advantage) only reduce 2-12%, even over the course of two years. This does not come close to eliminating the musculoskeletal advantages.[6] But then one might respond with, “Even if transwomen have advantage, the advantage is irrelevant because we allow all kinds of competitive advantages within women's sport." The advantage is not irrelevant. We are comparing apples to oranges. Sport is about recognizing and rewarding exceptional abilities within similar categories. Even if we separate sport by height or weight categories, males will still dominate in those categories over females. Why? Because being male gives a giant boost to almost every physiological aspect of sport performance, even after all things are equal. For example, in weightlifting, a male will lift 30% more compared to an equally trained female of the same weight and height. Thus, letting males compete in female sport would not be rewarding exceptional abilities within females. It would reward being male. References: [1] Bohannon, R., et al. (2019).

Thank you for adding your voice and concern to this important issue!

Thank you for this video! I have been wanting to hear you address this very tooic! I appreciate your boldness!!!

Thank you, Hanshi Judge!

It is not about fairness because the concept of fairness is subjective. What is fair to one person may be unfair to another person. This is about right and wrong and as such, it is a spiritual issue. The fact is it is wrong to have a boy who thinks he is a girl compete against an individual who was born a girl because, as Hanshi explained, boys and girls, men and women are created differently. If transgenders want to compete then let them compete against other transgender athletes. But, allowing transgenders in women's sports is a slap in the face to all the girls and women who dedicated themselves through sweats, pains, years of sacrifice, and sometimes tears, at becoming the best in their sports.

I agree 100%. Females should never have to compete against a male. And putting a female in the position of having to share a locker room is not right.

Very well said. Thank you for speaking out.

Agree 100% well said and referenced!

Agree 100% well said and referenced!

👏 👏 👏 Spot On 👊 thank you for Speaking Truth 🤚As a gay man, and father or two daughters who grew up competing in sports, this is one of the most important topics of our time 🙏

That large numbers of people pretending not to or genuinely don't know what we all knew ten minutes ago seem to believe they alone are on the "Right Side of History" would be amusing but for them holding positions of authority. That men and women are in fact different in ways that matter regarding various areas of life ought not be the least bit controversial, yet it is. It appears the "Blank Slate" ideology has metastasized from merely false psychological beliefs into the domain of biology as exemplified by the often repeated thought terminating cliche "Trans Women are Women". Well, reality always has the last word and i suspect in a few years, those with toxic compassion in the "Be Kind" brigade are going to attempt gaslighting at a level not yet seen rather than admitting their complicity in allowing narcissistic men to bully their way into women's sports, bathrooms, locker rooms, domestic violence & rape crisis shelters. My two cents. "Every age before this one has performed or permitted acts that to us are morally stupefying. So unless we have any reason to think we are more reasonable, morally better or wiser than at any time in the past, it is reasonable to assume there will be some things we are presently doing - possibly while flushed with moral virtue - that our descendants will whistle through their teeth at, and say ‘What the hell were they thinking?’" Douglas Murray - "The Madness of Crowds"

I so agree with you. Especially in sports

I agree completely! Thank you for speaking up. This needs to go viral. 💪🏼❤️

Well said, Sensei. Glad you spoke out as you are in a position of knowledge, being a World Champion yourself and having always been involved with athletes , male & female.

Very educational🥋

I believe your comments are one-sided and prejudiced against transgender people. Everyone should have the right to make their own choices and compete as they wish.

Hey Donna! Thank you for standing up for girls and women! Your honesty. common sense along with your knowledge and experience on this matter makes you the perfect candidate to speak on this. You ever thought of being on the school board?

I know this is a hard subject to talk about. But if you agree, then please share this video. 🦅

I really appreciate your videos

Absolutely a great time

Beautiful sunset

I prefer quiet too! 😊

It was a really nice night to go on a sunset cruise. I talk about the music a lot in this video and of course come to find out once I watched it all back, when I was turning my mic off, so I wouldn’t pick up all the conversation next to me, the phone wasn’t picking up the sound, so the video has both times with the music and times without the music.. I prefer the quiet when I’m watching the sunset, I know others prefer the music. So let me know in the comments which you prefer ? I hope you enjoy the video. 👍

Love watching these!

That was a great fight Hanshi. A clinic on how to use a reverse punch.

Always love seeing your competition videos!

Love this series idea!

Awesome!

I see your primary move was a reverse punch. May I ask why?

Kumite at it's finest. Wish we could go back to that

We have done these escape rooms in several places in Europe. Not easy but lots of fun! Thanks for sharing.

It does look very cool to me Donna! It is a unique concept for me, 🥰Anita

Great place, we had a good 😊time

So, as I said, at the beginning of this video, we had a lot of Mic issues. Unfortunately, I had to cut out a lot of the video and put music over a lot of it. I am looking forward to the new Mic arriving this week, and hopefully we won’t have this issue anymore. I hope you enjoy the part of the video I was able to put up. I also want to say we have wonderful music downtown, and unfortunately this video won’t show that because we had to delete it due to bad sound. So if you live here, are your visiting, take the time to go downtown and support the local musicians. 😊

You are sitirring my appetite! I , personally love, bamboo fabric. Try it Donna, you will like it, love, Anita

Great job

Great place!

I wish all animals could be in their natural habitat but sometimes they just can’t and it nice that we have places like this to take care of them.

This is a great place have taken my grand kids a couple times
