I’m sitting in the airport in Los Angeles – and I’m not doing karate. We left home at 7:00 a.m. Eastern time. At the time I am writing this, it is now 2:43 p.m. (Eastern time). In another three hours we take off for Honolulu and we’ll get there around 6:00 p.m. (midnight Eastern time)… So [...]
Well, I’m ashamed to say the day finally came – complete Godan Quest fail. That’s right. I didn’t work out – didn’t do my 60-minute Sanchin-Ryu workout. I just didn’t have it in me yesterday.
Kakato-Hiza – this is a form that just feels good going fast. Don’t really know why – because it has some kicks in it and even two reverse heel thrusts – which usually tend to slow things down for me. So don’t know why – but I enjoy going fast with this one. Hope it looks good too!
It’s October. The weather’s starting to turn cold here in Michigan. The nights are becoming chilly (okay – cold). A friend of mine had a bonfire last night – a party. And I confess (here’s the transgression) I ate after 8:30. In fact, I ate a substantial amount after 8:30. I did not set out to explicitly ignore the 8:30 rule because – what the heck – it’s a party!. No, I just forgot to focus on it and it really wasn’t until this morning when I thought about writing this post that I consciously realized – hey! What the hey? Heck’s Bells ! I ate after 8:30!
I missed another health club workout yesterday. I had to wait at home for a couple deliveries for our guinea pig cage business. And one of these was a big delivery (we sometimes order stuff by the pallet). So, by the time the deliveries came and we did all our work and shipped out our orders, we were out of time.
It’s October… October. I can’t believe that time passes so quickly. I started in August. I blinked. And it’s October. I’m afraid to blink again. (Maybe I can try to blink more slowly). Yesterday I began a new form of focus - Kakato-Hiza. Did it ultra-slowly and later at 40 BPM. Thanks for the tunes, Thousand Foot Krutch!
Okay, okay. Maybe I don’t actually have a lot of “class” as in sophistication and refinement (I know you’ve seen videos of me). But I do have a class – as in “I teach a class”.
It rained most of yesterday. And it wasn’t until evening that I got a break in the weather to do my outside workout. Last day of Seiu-San focus and, of course – according to plan – it involves overwhelm speeds. Let me remind you of the Day 3 plan I presented in my Focus on [...]
I don’t mean to do night workouts. My plan is really to get my Sanchin-Ryu workouts over early in the day. But our guinea pig cage business has gone through the roof the last month or so. (A good problem to have). So by the time I get my work done – and all my [...]
To tell you the truth – I did not feel like working out yesterday. I was tired, I was very busy with our guinea pig cage business (we had a big weekend) and I was just not in the frame of mind to do a Sanchin-ryu workout. But I did it anyway. Why? Because of the [...]

It's simply a personal quest. A 57-year old man (me - Bob Matthews) has set a personal goal to become a Master (fifth-degree black belt) in Sanchin-Ryu karate before he turns 60.
Will I make it? Watch me and find out...
Follow along - and leave me some comments - I could use the help!
| Read the Day 1 Post. It will explain everything... |
At that time I was age 57 and had 2 years, 6 months and 16 days to go.
How much time is left until I turn 60?
9 months and 19 days |
