Keiko Diary for 2006-10-24
Earned my brown belt!
Today’s workout was just that — a workout. The emphasis was on keeping our bodies in motion without many breaks.
Themes: Speed vs. Power, Circular Into Linear Motion, Oblique Fighting Defense and Counter
This is the first of my keiko (karate practice) diary entries.
Found a website that contains a glossary of karate-related terms:
My son and I have been taking karate lessons weekly for about three and half years now. And every week there are new techniques to be learned and previously-taught techniques to be relearned or improved.
My thought is to use this blog to capture some of these ideas so that I can refer back to them later. Posts will be filed under the Kwanmukan category.
Kwanmu, by the way, is Japanese for “realization of the essential.”
