EXPRESS YOURSELF

Karate is a way to express oneself. If we are having a "bad" day we can always release ourselves and our emotions through Kata. We practice Karate so we do not have to "fight". Karate brings together many different people and personalities. When we workout in a group each
person receives the energy of the others in the class. We are then able to better ourselves and use this energy peacefully in our daily struggles in life, including "post holiday blues". However Karate is more than a concept, it has to be "lived".  That dynamic living begins in the dojo and manifests itself in the "home, workplace or street".  This weeks technique is "borrowed" from an anonymous student(s). Arigato, Kyoshi Robert Scaglione.
