Any of my #karate peeps going to watch the live stream of @karatecombat on Thursday? I’m finding it more enjoyable than regular MMA and certainly more relevant to me as a #karateka @phoenixcarnevale are you going to be announcing?

Day 22 of #30daysofmartialarts was a play date with @erickastengren in the field behind his house. #kobudo #kata #bunkai and #hojoundo was on tap. For a change of pace, maybe I’ll try some #meditation tonight 😂😂😂 #30daysofkarate #karate #martialarts @bsma_dojo @karateculture @jeremylesniak @mish.mash.do @ando_mierzwa April 22, 2018April 22, 2018 Rob Instagram filter used: Normal Photo taken at: Aurora, Illinois View in Instagram ⇒
Day 21 of #30daysofmartialarts and our countdown to the end is in SINGLE DIGITS! Today was a quick 30 minutes of #kobudo with my #jo and reacquainting myself with my old nemesis, #Tetsusabukuro (iron shot bag). Later tonight I’ll relax with some #meditation and #kihon to finish up my hour. KEEP GOING, WE’RE ALMOST THERE. #karate #martialarts @ando_mierzwa @bsma_dojo @mish.mash.do @erickastengren @jeremylesniak April 21, 2018April 21, 2018 Rob Instagram filter used: Normal Photo taken at: Naperville, Illinois View in Instagram ⇒
Day 20 of #30daysofmartialarts “Sky above me, earth below me, fire within me”. Another day, another session of #meditation This is the #mantra that I use for meditating when I’m not doing #zazen or #mokuso forms of meditation. Also did cardio and whacked myself a couple hundred times with the #tetsutaba #30daysofkarate #karate #martialarts #satori #mindfulness #breathing #training #exercise @jeremylesniak @erickastengren @mish.mash.do @bsma_dojo @ando_mierzwa April 20, 2018April 20, 2018 Rob Instagram filter used: Normal Photo taken at: Naperville, Illinois View in Instagram ⇒
Day 19 of #30daysofmartialarts – “For what it’s worth: it’s never too late to be whoever you want to be. I hope you live a life you’re proud of, and if you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start over.” #fscottfitzgerald – the #inspiration for a #meditation focus can come from almost anywhere and at anytime. This quote from Fitzgerald formed the basis of today’s #karate meditation. #30daysofkarate #martialarts #zazen #being #identity #innerpeace @jeremylesniak @karateculture @erickastengren @mish.mash.do @bsma_dojo April 20, 2018April 20, 2018 Rob Instagram filter used: Normal Photo taken at: Naperville, Illinois View in Instagram ⇒
