One of the results of my #30daysofkarate was the start of a section in my #karate #journal on #meditation Specifically, writing a number of #martialarts focused meditations. I tried numerous places, seeking simple #mindfulness meditation but never really found what I was looking for. Certainly nothing geared towards martial arts. So I decided to start writing my own as part of my practice. Eventually I’ll put them in an e-book format for anyone who is interested (no charge). #innerpeace #breathe #peace #warrior #bushido #budo #kobufo #innerstrength #balance #isshin #dotai #spirit @karateculture @ando_mierzwa @mish.mash.do @jadonisw June 28, 2017June 28, 2017 Rob Instagram filter used: Normal Photo taken at: Naperville, Illinois View in Instagram ⇒

Some people hear their own inner voices with great clearness and they live by what they hear. Such people become crazy, or they become legends. Was watching a show that referenced Jim Harrison and I remembered how much I love the opening line from Legends of the Fall. Sums up most of the #karateka I know. #karate #martialarts #dedication #training #legend #mindfulness #meditation June 10, 2017June 10, 2017 Rob Instagram filter used: Normal Photo taken at: Naperville, Illinois View in Instagram ⇒
