Shotokan in the dark

Hi friends,

On Friday evening we decided to try training in the park just next home (usually it is very well lit, but this Friday was dark). I wanted to share with you what we found during that session.

When we were executing the Kata Heian Nidan, we found it extremely easy to maintain and coordinate the movement without hesitation. I believe that as part of self-evaluation/self-criticism the learning process gets slowed, to the point that mind does not get fully focused.

Please be mindful with the location when you train at all time, but training on a dark space was a worth to try experience for us.

Have a great training....

Japanese fisherman nodding-ish

The place that we are using for training is just next to Yarra River in Melbourne, funny enough, the area is always full with Japanese fisherman that like to spare their retirement time seating around the area. Today meanwhile practising Heian Nidan, a late comer Fisherman walk passed us nodding and smiling gliding to our "not precise" but well-intentioned attempt. Half way he changed from nodding to shaking this head but still smiling... well we will keep trying... :) 

In the end you never know who is watching you...

A couple of captures from Heian Nidan
 

Starting the Journey! 90 days to Orange

What to say to start properly? That is the primordial question that comes to my mind right now.

To be honest taking this path and the challenge brings me into the anxious status of "What will this be?"... If I say "I know" then the excitement will vanish and then I won't pursue the goal anymore. I prefer to say... Go for it!!!...

Why do I train? I believe is for the same reason I don't want to stop doing new things, searching for answers... How will it feel to be more experienced as a Martial Artist? What is that really defines to know a martial art? How can I adapt and incorporate movement and reactions into my body?

What I'll be sharing is not the perfect student (No mistakes type of guy) but instead I want to share the wins and losses that happens during the way...

BRING IT ON!!!...
