Onna Kimono

Being a woman is wild. 😂

Some weeks I’m strong, fast, confident and basically unstoppable.

Other weeks I catch my reflection and think, “Ah yes. An oddly confident potato.” 🥔

Then I remember we spend the entire month cycling through different hormones like somebody is randomly adjusting the settings.

So really… we’re doing GREAT considering the operating system updates every 7–10 business days. 😂

I knew about 90% of what I was doing. 😂

The other 10% was research, trial and error, and hoping I didn’t ruin them.

But LOOK AT THEM. 😍

My first time completely refinishing and restringing a set of nunchaku — and I absolutely love how they turned out.

Apparently I’m my own target audience. 😂

Post the reel. Watch the reel. Laugh at my own reel. Decide I’m hilarious. Repeat.

At least I’m having a good time over here. 🤷‍♀️😂

ADHD kata training: the body is doing karate, the brain is apparently singing a song about pancakes. 🥞🥋

Please tell me I’m not the only one whose brain provides its own soundtrack during kata. 😂 …or at least sound effects.

Don’t get me wrong some days I’m focused on my hips, stances, power, and transitions but some moments my brain shuts off…

My body has submitted several formal complaints.
Management has chosen to ignore them. 🥋😂

Old me a jealous of what young me could do. But I try anyway.

Not part of my regular training these days, but I still run my Isshin-ryu kata from time to time so I don’t lose them. 🥋

Some kata stay with you—you just have to visit them every once in a while.

ADHD is realizing it’s 11 p.m. and suddenly deciding this is the perfect time to improve your nunchaku.

What’s the most random thing you’ve done because your brain refused to shut off?
