Let’s see how long this stays up on YouTube before I get a takedown notice.

Ichigo ichie
Last night was my first practice after a month long hiatus due to illness and parent chauffeuring duties while the kids got ready for their promotion exams (kata practice).
I find myself falling into bad habits and lacking the intensity I once had.
Yesterday during keiko, I was reminded of giving my all as once the opportunity is gone, it will never come again.
Thanks, Kenny sensei for ichigo ichie.

Note to self
Never wash new cotton hakama for grading exam.
The dye does not come out evenly and hard to get pleats back.
Oh well, another hakama to use for regular practice.
