Training Regime Variation

Today I did a slight variation from my current training regime, (especially in regard to my kihon practice, for those interested you may find it interesting to compare and contrast this). In sum, I'm posting this to highlight variations, which I intermittently do through the month.

I wish everyone here in Japan and around the world the very best of health and high-level training.

For those of you coming to Japan as Renshusei here at the Dojo, or attending upcoming seminars, see you soon! International Karate Shotokan has many special events in Japan and abroad coming up.

押忍!
