After my last #30daysofkarate #challenge , I had a #meditation #bench made. The Kanji is the same as on some of my #kobudo #weapons – #isshan #dotai. Translates to “one in #body and #mind”. #karate #budo #martialarts #meditate #peace #warrior #blackbelt #whitebelt September 1, 2017September 2, 2017 Rob Instagram filter used: Normal Photo taken at: Naperville, Illinois View in Instagram ⇒

We’re both dressed up and looking fine. Maybe dad is a little hip? Yeah, no. But at least my wife is cool enough for both of us.
