Why Train Karate?
With so much discussion about which is the “best” martial art, it’s easy to forget the real reason we enter the dojo at all. At the heart of the question “why train karate,” or any martial art, is simply the joy of training.
Kumano Kodo Pilgrimage
Earlier this year I returned to Japan to train karate and to hike a pilgrimage trail in Wakayama known as the Kumano Kodo. This trail is a six day, five night hike through the inaka, or countryside south of Osaka. The path winds through small towns, rice paddies and forests filled with towering pine trees and bamboo. Walking along the trail day after day was a truly spiritual experience and an inspiration to my journey to deciding to take the next steps to opening a karate school at home in Canada.
