So many kata, so little time ...

Wow. It's been quite a while. Seminary has taken precedence over my blogging, but not my training.

In Sept 2017, I switched dojos - due to moving too far away from my dojo of the previous ten years. Even as I am frustrated with how many times I have moved and had to switch dojos, I am pumped about where I am now. I am studying Goju Ryu - from the very beginning. I am grateful beyond belief that my new Sensei has allowed me to keep my sandan rank.

So - this morning, instead of my usual yoga/stretching routine outside on my back deck, I went through all of my new kata, a bunkai, and a renzoku. Mind you - I've only learned the patterns, not the essences.

I share this list as much for you as for me to remember.

Gekisai Dai Ichi
Gekisai Dai Ni
Geki Ha
Kaka Ha
Saifa
Jin Choi
Seiyunchin
Gesaku Sho

I'm still learning the patterns for Sanseru and Tensho.

Y'all. My heart is full of energy and excitement and joy as I learn new techniques, new patterns, and new ways of being a martial artist. All I can say -

Domo arigato gozaimishita!

Bushido Virtue #7 Chugi - Loyalty

Image
In America today, loyalty can be seen in many forms.   The most blatant example might be avid sports fans.   Even when a beloved team is having a terrible season, a loyal fan will still cheer them on, hope for the best; and even attend games where a loss is expected. When the going in life gets rough, however, do we stay the course?   Do we remain focused on our path and our goals and refuse to allow what’s around us drag us off course?   The last of the traditional Bushido tenets, loyalty, or chugi in Japanese, seems to be the epitomal manifestation of the previous six tenets in a samurai’s life.   Judging from the origins of the word according to Encyclopædia Britannica Eleventh Edition, its meaning is rooted in “allegiance to the sovereign or established government of one’s country”.   Over time, loyalty has come to embody allegiance to just about anything.   Dictionary.com defines loyalty as “faithfulness to commitments or obligations” and gives fealty, devotion

Bushido Virtue #2 - Yu or Courage

Bushido Virtue #2 : Yu or Courage The word courage is seen in the media frequently.  Often, stories regarding our troops and their families describe their courage in the midst of turmoil.  Sometimes we focus on a once in a lifetime story of courage such as the “Miracle on the Hudson” when Capt. Sullenberger successfully ditched his airplane in the Hudson River and saved 155 lives.  Most of us will never be faced with such situations where others are seemingly endowed with supernatural courage.  So what *is* courage anyway? Courage is defined in the Random House dictionary as “the quality of mind or spirit that enables a person to face difficulty, danger, pain, etc. without fear; bravery”.  The word comes from Old English, Old French, and Latin – all referring to the heart.  Other words we use similar to courage include:  fearlessness, valor, pluck, spirit, valiance.  One of my favorite definitions is “courage is fear that has said its prayers and keeps going”.

Almost There

In one week, seven days, I will be a seminary graduate. In three weeks - roughly - I will get to train at my dojo twice a week instead of just once. I cannot say how ecstatic I am ... It's been a bit over a year since I started up with Goju Ryu. I still have so much to learn and I've grown antsy to focus on this instead of seminary work. Not that what I was learning in seminary isn't terribly important - it is. And my Master of Divinity is crucial to the work I have been called to. But karate is my refuge. Karate saved my life when I was in high school and struggling with the effects of familial alcoholism. Karate saved me in my early twenties when I couldn't see a way through what I was going to do for a living. Karate saved my life when I was recovering from the domestic violence I suffered during my previous marriage. Karate saved me when I remarried and our respective ex-spouses kept us in and out of court with custody battles. Karate saved my life whe
