Teaching my regular classes at the Ross Farnsworth - East Valley YMCA.

My senior student didn’t attend class today, and that’s okay, because it forced the rest of my students outside their comfort zone. Who’s going to open and close class? Who’s going to lead the recitation of the dojo kun? etc. We ended up spending some time getting everyone more familiar with these things because you never know when you’re going to find yourself sitting at the head of the line - even as a yellow belt. After all, what is karate if not training for the unexpected?
