For
the New Year there is a tradition in Japan to stand under a waterfall.
and
so did these guys.
2013年 JKA 上市支部 元旦滝打ち 完全版
Now here bouts in New Hampshire we don’t train karate in snowstorms.
On the other hand for over 17 years I did have a tai
chi group class on my drive way. And foe class we always dressed appropriately
for the weathero One of our first classes was a January and the temperature was
-20 f. As we were practicing a standing chi drill I noticed a town police car
drove past my property. Then a little later he drove by again. Next he came
walking by watching what we were doing. I am sure he was astonished we were
outside in those temperatures.
But here the temperature as years passed went
between +120f to that -20f. Never for the temperature did we cancel class. Rain
or snow were a different matter, but not for temperature.
One year there was a heavy snow storm on a Saturday
Night. I went out early to shovel 2 hours before class. And I cleared the
driveway.
Went inside for dry clothes as the group came here.
And to greet them I went outside into the very cold air not wearing a top. They
had a heart attack, rushing me inside to finish dressing. I was toasty warm and
did not even feel the bitter wind chill.
