Karate 104

As green belts, we were privileged to learn a Black Belt Kata today. It is called chin pa and uses several techniques we were not familiar with. It was very interesting and fun. Sensei Kevin Trotman led the class in warm ups and basic practice drills. We were the lowest ranking belts there today so maybe that is why they felt it was appropriate to dwell on the finer points of our katas and teach us chin pa too.

Marilyn and I felt better than we normally do today since we have been getting a bit of rest from our other training duties. We will go to next Tuesday’s class, but we will miss Saturday since we are off to Calgary to prepare for my marathon.
