Another great night at North Knox! Eight NEW students showed up for class last night, so it was back to basics. It looked like one of our Family nights. Master McMahon put them through a so-called warm up that I’m sure have a few thinking, "What have I gotten into?" Then Master Bowers joined in and took our newbie’s through some great basic self-defense techniques.

I had the pleasure of reviewing and polishing up kata for those eligible for promotion on the 9^th.

I was very impressed with the kata I saw from these hardworking men and women … especially since neither Greg or myself have ever considered ourselves "Kata People". I remember Master Bowers threatening again and again with, " You can’t fight till you run ALL of your kata!" It wasn’t until years later that I understood the true value of kata and that it could indeed help your fighting ability.

Looking forward to Halls on the 30^th … I’ve dusted off my "Thigh Master" in preparation for Sensei Walkers workout … See you all then …
