time to reflect…

It’s 2014 and for many of you it’s time to reflect what you may or may not wanted to achieve in 2013. Some may have aimed at succeding in a competition others wanted to make the next grade. Perhaps for quite a few of you it was just going to the dojo and doing your best. My goals were trying to improve and develop kyokushin karate, some things I managed to achieve such as sorting out the bunkai for kata for example which by the way is still work in progress.

Whatever your goals for 2014 remember this; Following the Martial Way is like scaling a cliff. Continue upwards without rest. It demands absolute and unfaltering devotion to the task at hand. Number two of Sosai’s eleven mottoes.
