Just finished my #tetsutaba. I need to wait another three hours for the epoxy to fully cure and then I can start using it. So that will be on the agenda for Day 7 of #30daysofmartialarts later today. I’ll post video of me using it. In the meantime, I’m watching “Martial Arts for Everyone” the digital seminar from @budobrothers. My physical training today is going to be working on the EETGS targeting from the seminar. Not to late to join in the 30 Day Challenge! #30daysofkarate #training #hojoundo #gojushorei #karate April 7, 2018April 7, 2018 Rob Instagram filter used: Normal Photo taken at: Naperville, Illinois View in Instagram ⇒
For any of my #martialarts peeps who #meditate, check out the Ensō app. I have no affiliation with it other than being a user, but it’s my favorite timer. #meditation #mindfulness #mokuso #zazen #satori April 7, 2018April 7, 2018 Rob Instagram filter used: Normal View in Instagram ⇒
Okay, it’s 1:00 AM so, technically it’s still Day 6. I need to go to bed but, dammit, I pick up my #kingfisherwoodworks #bokken and I just gotta spend 10 minutes with it, THEN bedtime. #30daysofmartialarts #30daysofkarate #obsessed #training #ihaveaproblem #kobudo #aikido #karate #budo April 7, 2018April 7, 2018 Rob Instagram filter used: Normal Photo taken at: Naperville, Illinois View in Instagram ⇒
Day 6 of #30daysofmartialarts and I find myself #writing another entry for #martialjournal – don’t worry, still got some work in with the #resistancebands and #hojoundo. Oh yeah, can’t forget the #meditation and #kata. #30daysofkarate #karate #martialarts #journal #blogging @karateculture @bsma_dojo @erickastengren @mish.mash.do April 7, 2018April 7, 2018 Rob Instagram filter used: Normal Photo taken at: Naperville, Illinois View in Instagram ⇒
Almost 25 years ago, a friend of mine gave me this #koan (#zen #puzzle) and I still have it/him watching while I #train at home. As a zen puzzle, I still don’t get it but maybe that means I *do* get it? #meditation #zazen #mokuso #satori #martialarts #mindfulness #innerpeace April 5, 2018April 5, 2018 Rob Instagram filter used: Normal Photo taken at: Naperville, Illinois View in Instagram ⇒

Why yes, those are the materials for my new #tetsutaba. Don’t worry, @erickastengren , I’ll bring it on Tuesday for you to play with. DAY FIVE! #30daysofmartialarts is underway. I’ll post pix later but I was just excited that my Amazon order arrived. #30daysofkarate #hojoundo #karate #conditioning #strength #ouch #supplementaltraining @karateculture @bsma_dojo @mish.mash.do @jeremylesniak @ando_mierzwa April 5, 2018April 5, 2018 Rob Instagram filter used: Normal Photo taken at: Naperville, Illinois View in Instagram ⇒
Yeah, I can’t resist being the only person in the #dojo. After the last class, stuck around for another 15 minutes of #kobudo with the #tonfa. Okay, THAT draws Day 4 of #30daysofmartialarts to a close for me. #30daysofkarate #martialarts #karate #budo #bushido #training #journal April 4, 2018April 4, 2018 Rob Instagram filter used: Normal Photo taken at: Joanne B Wagner Community Center View in Instagram ⇒
Day 4 of #30daysofmartialarts – another couple of hours in the #dojo preceded by some time for myself before anyone else arrives. Solo practice turns this into a #sacredspace #karate #30daysofkarate #meditation #martialarts #kata #bunkai #kobudo #tonfa #community @erickastengren @whistlekick @karateculture @jeremylesniak @ando_mierzwa @mish.mash.do @bsma_dojo #gojushorei April 4, 2018April 4, 2018 Rob Instagram filter used: Normal Photo taken at: Joanne B Wagner Community Center View in Instagram ⇒
Day 3 of #30daysofmartialarts and three hours in the #dojo – two kids classes, one adult class, and some “me” time before it all began. Now to put my kids to bed and then close off today with an extended #meditation. #30daysofkarate #karate #kobudo #budo #bushido #meditate #mokuso #zazen #journal #writing @whistlekick @erickastengren @mish.mash.do @ando_mierzwa @karateculture @jeremylesniak April 3, 2018April 3, 2018 Rob Instagram filter used: Normal Photo taken at: Naperville, Illinois View in Instagram ⇒
