Shorinjiryu Kenryukan Karate
Today in History of the Martial Arts Project with Sensei Riley, our class of 12 students from different grades including myself, and three adults (Sensei Riley, his son, Sempai Jordan, and Brother Thomas) attended a one day training session in Shorinjiryu Kenryukan Karate held at the Imperial Dragon Hombu Dojo in Brooklyn, NY.
But before taking a few trains and short walks to get there, Sensei Riley showed the class a kata, which is a karate form of fighting. We also discussed how not to be foolish while in public, to behave ourselves, and to pay attention to our surroundings. We were representing our families, St. Benedict's Prep, and ourselves.
After about a 2-hour journey to the Imperial Dragon Hombu Dojo, we were more than satisfied with what we anticipated when we got to finally experience more extensive karate training. Even though some students made us look bad, as a whole, I felt as if I was well focus and ready to learn, -- trying my best at all times. I am hoping to make another trip to the Imperial Dragon Hombu Dojo with Sensei and my classmates.
