About Lesson, April 21, 2019

This was about a lesson last night. We did “Ido Keiko” with “Zenkutsu-dachi” a lot. Do you know “Zenkutsu-dachi”? If you don’t know, I will tell you… It kills your legs. It’s just like a torture! Not only for your legs, it is not also much fun at all. You cannot imagine how much time we spend for this traditional style of Keiko.

But more time you put into this training, you will find “something” one day. It happened to me last night. I realized that I was not as tired as used to be and I could move faster and sharper. Actually, I could control my body so easily. I cannot tell you what it is yet, because I still don’t understand yet. I just felt that way.

I told my great experience to my Karate friend and what he said, “Lerning Densho Karate is worth! More you put in, more you get out! You talk about just basic training but it seems to still long way to go.”

I am so glad to have an opportunity to learn Densho Karate and to meet So-Shihan Watanabe.
