I really did teary-eyed when I saw you get your black belt. I’m glad there’s more silent protectors of those that need protectin’ out there on the streets.
It was an excellent spectacle, my friend. On the way home, I uttered words that I thought would never be uttered: “Of all the people out there today, Perich looked the most balanced, graceful, and comfortable in his own body.”

You threw a guy by his face.
Brian Retchless |
Dude.
You look angry.
Dan |
I think those faces are some of the best HULK SMASH! looks I’ve ever seen!
Drew |
Congratulations on making black belt, man.

How soon before your first action film?
Mel |
Congrats Perich! Glad I could watch it! You are surprisingly graceful for a man of your stature.

Get a haircut, you hippie!

So awesome and impressive. Congrats man!
(and kudos to the photographers. I assume no flashes were allowed. So very impressive work capturing those action shots.)
Professor Coldheart |
Bob – no special veto on flashes. But the dojo’s covered in yellow fluorescent lights, so clear shots are hard to capture.

Congratulations! Looking at these pictures makes me want to go beat something up.
LJ |
Aww. All the photos are awesome, but the second to last one is the tear-jerker snapshot. Congratulations.
Erin |
So dang awesome. Good work, Mr. Perich.

like the hair
M. Witty |
Inspiring. Congratulations! I just hope you tipped the bald man well.
Brian Martinez |
Don’t listen to Joel. If anything, you need more hair, a big ol’ fro so you can be Bruce Lee’s sidekick. Well, in another life at least.
Congrats dude!
Professor Coldheart |
Matt – got him a present (retractable steel baton) and did a shot with him at the bar that evening (“thank you for making me look good”).
stephanie |
um…wow
Professor Coldheart |
Steph – I’m as surprised as you.

Intensity. I love it.

Congratulations! I would not choose to meet you in a dark alley.

Congratulations.
Professor Coldheart |
Thank you! The cookies were a big hit, as well.

Firstly is this you getting your black belt? If so, congrats and that’s awesome.
I loved these pics. Some are just generally badass, and the others are really entertaining. Such good facial expressions!
It’s really funny to know someone yet not know a huge other part of their life. YOU ARE A RENAISSANCE MAN JOHN PERICH!
Professor Coldheart |
Eric – if you were on Facebook, like your awesome wife, I would have invited you. There was a Facebook Group and everything.
Pope |
Yeah, i’ve yet to jump on the fASSbook bandwagon. I don’t know if I can bring myself to do it.
Brian Perry |
Perich – this post is super F’ing A. awesome. Amazing photos and I imagine all of them being taken in 1973.
