Karate training outside the Beaconsfield Recreation Center. First training session after the lockdown, what a joyous occasion. Distancing was respected and the session was divided up into warmups, basics, Makiwara on the shields attached to the trees and Kata. A different training mind set. If you don't adapt, you slowly die, so we must do what we must do to keep the flame alive. June 13, 2020 May 28, 2019. Palm Beach Gardens BJJ, Florida. Tuesday's, no Gi night. Fun, fun, fun. What a wonderful group of warriors. Professor Almeida is a jewel. He is patient, guides you and encourages every student. During the rolling, he uses what he taught you on you in order to show you that it works. An honour and pleasure to come train with these guys and girls. Back at it tomorrow before heading to Montreal. Inter-club Gohaku Koshiki Shiai tournament. March 31, 2018.
