MCF Day 1 Training - April 30, 2009
Sanchin kata the first hour and a half and then two hours and 78 repetitions of kata Gekisai Dai Ichi in memory of Anichi Miyagi Sensei who just turned 78 this year. Actually did 88 according to Laura who said that Nakamura Sensei did 10 by the count to get everybody warmed up! This will wear you out! It becomes a trial of desire over your body wanting to give up...we call it spirit training. All of you know that you can do that as we did it for Mallin Sensei upon his passing last month. More later. Off to bed and up early in the morning to train again...

Did Gekisai Dai Ichi 78 times (plus some warm-up kata--10 times) for Anichi Sensei. I did it with all the strength and intensity I could muster! Everyone overall was strong in their kata for Sensei. This type of thing really brings out the essence of Goju Ryu because you are uniting your mind, body, and spirit. You must train hard all the time and listen and sweat!
