My Journey as an older (ahem) Karateka!




Finding Karate, again.


For the second time in my life, I've been gifted with learning about a martial art.  When I was 7 or 8 years old, I went to Karate class in Hofstra University.  Unfortunately, I was more interested in Saturday Cartoons than in Karate.  

Now through some wonderful circumstances, I've been given a second opportunity to learn about Karate at the Victory Dojo in Burbank, CA.   

KYOKUSHIN literally means, "The Path to Truth."  I'm told that a Black Belt, (the highest levels of KYOKUSHIN) is simply a white belt (meaning no rank) who never quit.  I hope that's true.  

Here I am in December, doing my first wood break.




What I'm beginning to realize is that a master is someone who has mastered themselves through a particular craft.  My journey to master my self, my fitness through karate has begun.  Come join me on this journey as I will update you about how it's going.  

Currently, I'm a yellow striped Red belt.  In May I hope to qualify for my Blue Belt.  I'll keep you updated.  

Motivate to move!!!!
