Imperfections Crescent Moon Karate An elderly Chinese woman had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a pole which she carried across her neck. One of the pots had a crack in it while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water.

When it comes to our next habit of excellence, there are two types of people. Those who do what they say and make no excuses and those who have become experts at making excuses.

Nai fuhanchi Shodan

2009-09-15T21:03:00.000-07:00

Nai fuhanchi Kata is one of my favorite to perfrom. This Kata is introduced in our system at the 5th Kyu Level. It is generally a basic Kata, while at the same time greatly developing advanced level students. In my opinion, all Karate Ka should take extra care in Perfecting this Beautiful Kata. Basic in form, Deadly in application.

How can I increase the number of pushups?
