Done for the day, tomorrow we are celebrating my dad’s B-day must be ready to help my old folks.

In a couple of months, I will be ready for a small tournament.  My Sensei told me that they are opening a Master category so I want to be part of it.

This past weekend we guided our alumni to the Yi Sin Mun tournament organized by the University of Costa Rica.  The local Karate Federation did not gave their approval for this tournament, it seems like the Karate in my country is governed by a poor direction and vision.  It is sad because from our 8 kids 7 got a medal, 3 gold, 2 sliver, 2 bronze.  Not bad at all.  Seeing their smile, makes it everything.  How many hours my Sensei trained them, how many rehearsals, hours of standing, practice, more practice, kumite, kata, more kata, more kumite.

It is always nice to be part of an event.  I’m starting to train my legs, soon my kata will be back where I want it, but I will sneak at least once this year into kumite.  I think I deserve it.
