Key - Repetition

By Sensei Judy

Greetings to my Shorin-Ryu Karate USA Family. In 1981 one of the Deshi submitted a Karate Haiku as a paragraph for testing. I was so impressed that I framed it and hung it up ... and to this day it is still hanging up in our Dojo ...

"Tension and release, a little focus idea, key-repetition"

This little poem was written by Holly Whitstock Seeger and it says it all. I couldn't believe that so few words could capture what we were all about in 1981 and what we are still all about in 1998.   Arigato, Sensei Judy
