Fit to Explore

CrossFit conditioning has opened new vistas of shotokan challenges to me. I am so grateful to my son for getting his mother and me involved in CrossFit. It is fantastic.

With new strength comes new opportunities. The kata Chinte (go here to see a  JKA video clip of the kata being performed) has always baffled and intrigued me. What do some of the moves mean, besides the obvious ones like the eye-pokes?

During the next several weeks, I will explore the inner meaning of this kata Chinte and try to improve my performance of it. Thanks CrossFit (and my son!) for enabling new exploration. (Click on the image to the left for a larger version.)
