It seems I
should reflect on times passage for me.
I never gave any
thought on achieving this age.
Later
this year I will have been married to Maureen Smith for 50 years.
I
will reach my 48th anniversary in my study of Isshinryu.
I
will reach ny 45th anniversary in my study of Yang Long Fist Tai Chi
Chaun.
In my years I
have been fortunate to learn a bit of many diverse martial arts and then learnt
from those studies.
All of thoaw instructors
were better martial artists than I ever was. I was so fortunate all of them
shared with me. I have done my best to remember what they shared.
I
worked many places and provided for my family.
I tried to serve
my community by offering karate instruction to the youth of my community for
free as adults did for the kids of my home town when I was young. Knowing that
spending time with youth would add to the texture of their lives.
I created this Blog,” Isshin. Concentration the Art” to
share with my 10 senior students so many things that I taught them and many
other things I never had time to share in out 35+ years together as their
training was always more important.
But I do not
believe in secrets and allowed others to see them. Over the years in excess of
1,00,000 have done so. But I never did this for others.
Now I am no longer participating in FaceBook I see thst daily those that view have dropped to about 1/10 of those previously viewing my blog. That is ok. For I never got anything from those who viewed my blog.
Turning to my
files I am finding so much that I saved, things that no one today ever
disusses.
I also realize
that my blog really was done for myself.
Time
passes and I continue to grow in my understanding of the martial arts.
I hope that
never ends.
