Breaking
Breaking takes training, spirit and focus. What
appeared at the beginning to be an obstacle is
really a spiritual destination, a moment through
which to pass among the Kiais and road to spiritual
development.

Kumete
Pre-arranged Kumete showed me symmetry, control
and a key karate principle: to develop the
strength and ability to focus power, and the
control to not use it.

Reinforced Block
At first it was a little bit like the kid's
game of patting your head and rubbing your
belly at the same time. How could she do that
with such grace, ease, speed and strength?
The answer came only a few short training years
later: practice.

The Stretch
She could just as easily have been a ballet
dancer stretching at the bar preparing to practice
her craft instead of a fellow karate student
stretching before class, both striving for
grace and control. Both are beautiful in their
own right.

Belt
I always treated each of my belts, white,
green, brown and now black, with great respect.
Each is imbued with countless hours of training.
Each was almost always saturated in sweat,
daily. Frayed at the edges from repeated knot
tying and wearing. Yet always reminding me
of the balance to be strived for in life. The
belt shows me, when I roll it up to put it
away after training, or put it on to train,
that symbol, yin-yang, is always at its center.
