My wife and I have been doing kata on the weekends. Most week day afternoons or evenings are taken up with crossfitty-type activities and WODs, so there's not much room for shotokan. But again, crossfit is simply a means to an end, and that end is being able to continue doing karate. The boxing lessons with Mr. Ruben Bravo have really brought back the memory of the mental state of physical combat. All the more reason to press on with shotokan. We've done it for years, and so there's a firm foundation. The techniques are so fun to execute. Kata feels good. Kumite stirs the blood and gives shape and practice to courage.
