Funny how nicknames seem to evolve in the club. Everytime one is coined up Eryl says: Well that one's been "crucified" (meaning babtised - but I think his version is more relevant)
Following a comment by Samurai Jack on this forum about a fellow Seki, (John )

"Having said this nothing focuses my blocking as much as seeing Big John's asteroid sized fist hurtling toward my brainbox!! Yikes."
can this be his new nickname ?
Sung to the tune of Big bad John.
Big John, Big John)
Ev'ry evenin' at the dojo you could see him arrive
He stood six foot six and weighed two forty five
Kinda broad at the shoulder and narrow at the hip
And everybody knew ya didn't give no lip to Big John.
(Big John, Big John) Big Bad John (Big John)
Nobody seemed to know where John called home
He just drifted into training and stayed all alone
He didn't say much, kinda quiet and shy
And if you spoke at all, you just said "Hi" to Big John.
Somebody said he came from Sir Fôn
Where he got in a fight over a mobile phone
And a crashin' blow from a huge right hand
Sent a Covi fellow to the Promised Land-Big John
(Big John, Big John) Big Bad John (Big John)
Then came the day at the grading line in
When Kawi walked in and men started cryin'
Karateka were prayin' and hearts beat fast
And everybody thought that they'd breathed their last-'cept John
Through the dust and the smoke of this man-made hell
Walked a giant of a man that Karateka knew well
Went through his kihon and Ki ai'd with a shout
And like a giant oak tree he just stood out-Big John
(Big John, Big John) Big Bad John (Big John)
And with all of his strength he gave a mighty punch
Then a fighter yelled out "There's goes my lunch
And twenty men scrambled from a would-be grave
Now there's only one left on the floor to face-Big John
Samurai Jack could not back down
They started to rumble, fists started to pound
Jack hit him and hit him time after time
Everybody knew you could not put down -Big John
(Big John, Big John) Big Bad John (Big John)
But Jack didn't affect him one little bit
John took all the punches then let out a hit
Jack went down he couldn't stand
And over him towered one hell of a man - Big John
(Big John, Big John) Big Bad John (Big John)
