moment Posted July 12, 2020 (edited) The great Akio Minakami-- Traditionalist, zen priest, three times world and all-Japan kata champion Currently 9th dan. Teaches personally in North Seattle. He is proud of the fact, that he has never struck another human outside of competition. We once did a slow-motion video (about 42 years ago) of him walking up to a 4" X 4" post stuck in the ground (about six feet of it was above ground) and striking it at about shoulder level; The splinters exploding out the other side, looked like the post had been hit by a shotgun blast at very close range. If you live near Seattle and want traditional karate instruction, equal to anywhere in the world, his school is the place to go. I believe he is 72 years old in this video.

moment Posted July 15, 2020 Cyd Charisse had childhood polio and was told that she would never walk again. But, her dream was to become a dancer. She did self-therapy, with an indomitable will and became one of the greatest dancers, in the world and those legs! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
