Greet experience

Osu, me again, I'm back training and had a truly great experience.

I was the only one training in the dojo today, because everyone else is busy with exams and other University work.

Its was truly a unique experience doing solo training like that. My dojo is in my Uni's gym and can be looked into from the second floor.

I did exercises and Kata with some cardio and shadow boxing to end. And as I worked I felt more in-tune with my training than before, even with passersby looking in here and there, with more eyes looking in as I refined my Kata and worked on my Kiai, which truly felt great as a refined and tweaked it by my lonesome.

The highlight of my day was meeting another Karateka who came in to practice 1 Kata of his own. He said he was from a Shorinji style (can't remember the fullname) and it was truly amazing seeing these new form and how different they where from mine.

His Kata was more fluid, but firm, and had many flowing motions. Truly amazing. He even said he might join us to train next time.

This solitary training truly helped me understand how much I actually care for and look forward to my future in Kyokushin Karate. I truly hope for grand things along the way. OSU
