FURIN KEIKOJO

Here there is my dream. 

I want to create an environment (hall, place, location, time, group and etc.) where karateka (people who practice karate) would meet up for karate practice, KARATE NO KEIKO (not sure if I've spleeled it right). I see too much of politics and money around this beautiful art. So, this place has to be FREE of it. Another way to say: I regardless of Dan, Federation, Association and Affiliation a karateka should be able to come and practice together. Nothing to argue about or prove - pure practice time. The thing is there is not enough training time in our DOJO's. We come there to study and to get corrected but any art requires more than that. particularly it requires repetition and practice. 

I am still considering my options... I need to find a place first. Then I wil try to inform people and we will see...

I will call that place FURIN KEIKOJO. Looking for a place right now...


HELLO

It's been long time since I wrote here. Many things happened to m, my personal life, my karate life, my professional life and etc. Some of them were too tough to deal with (and yet I am still kicking...) and some were of less degree... anyway my karate has never stopped. Not sure if it is getting better but this is not my point. The point is "show must go on".

I am back. 

I will try to continue writing here and asking for advises. If anyone gives me one I will be happy; if no advises or revisions I will be still doing it rather for myself, for later revision. It is interesting to see my karate 2 years ago. Now, watching those videos I feel sad. ;-)

Very soon I will add something to watch, think and chat about.

Ossu! And thanks to everyone who was still watching my blog (loads of views surprisingly). :-)
