Today is the 4th Anniversary of the passing of my brother, Kiyo Sensei of Saikyou Juku Dojo Atsuma Hokkaido Japan. He was an exceptional martial artist, teacher, father and person. His son and nephew continue to train at his dojo learning the art of karate. We miss you brother and thank you for the time we did have and for your contribution to the world, your art and your family. 1973-2012.　ありがとう、キヨ

Tae Kwon Do Problem:

Being the only girl in a sparring division and having all the boys be hesitant to spar you, as if you’re not there for the same reason they are.

Tae Kwon Do Problem: When the entire class goes for a jog, and your knee suddenly decides to rebel for no reason.

Back to the grind

Nice Move!

Fantastic!  So happy!

When you’re not quite sure where that bruise came from

Sanda/Sanshou techniques used by Chinese police and military to diffuse a hostile situation without causing immediate harm to the other person.

Each technique is to be utterly committed to, preventing the opponent from reacting. They’re quick, efficient and immediately put the other person in a position of pressure, but not pain. Though pain can be inflicted, should there be resistance.

😢 ❤️ 👏🏽

I love how he let him cry, told him, “We cry as men” and didn’t hit him with the whole, “Big boys don’t cry” mess. That was lovely. 

The Whole Lesson Behind It. He’s Giving Little Black Boys The Right Mindset. I Love It.

Wonderful Kung Fu Kick!
