Playground Workouts
This is the video that originally got me interested in focusing more bodyweight training- the guy is still the original in my books. Many have come along after him.
At London Shido-kan Karate Dojo we employ bodyweight training as well as traditional weight training for improving strength and function.

Inspiration!
Good Morning
No matter who we are or what we do -we often need inspiration to keep our momentum going. Some poor souls need it just to get up in the morning while others recharge daily to earn their next fortune. I suspect that most of the folks I associate with fall somewhere in the middle of the spectrum.
This morning I found a website listing top inspirational quotes. Some are cheesy and cliche but many are powerful. Actually some of the best ones are just a few words.
Here is the link Inspiring Quotes.
I hope that you're having a great day- but if you're struggling maybe you'll find something here to get a jump-start
Cheers,
Larry

Every Kid Counts!
At London Shido-kan Karate Dojo we are a non-competitive school, meaning- we don't attend tournaments as a rule. Our association Shido-kan Karate Canada, headed up by Sensei Roy Paul, has an annual friendship kata tournment. There are no fighting divisions as in most competitions.
In a traditional karate setting it's imperative that EVERY student experience growth and positive feedback as a result of his or her karate training. Yes each dojo has students who are "quick studies" so-to-speak - but those kids are like sponges when it comes to retaining information or reproducing techniques.
I am not suggesting that we own the franchise on this ideology- but in a society where competitive athletes are revered (even at a young age) we just may stand out in this way of thinking.
I will speak more of this in future posts.
For now it is my pleasure to direct you to a blog that belongs to a parent of one of our students- and a person I think of as a friend. Please have a look at Melissa Corbeil's article
