A safe space to punch, scream and kick our friends and not get angry about it .
I say it CONSTANTLY 🙄. Kumite is for learning, sharing, applying. It’s not a fight but some understanding of technique will certainly be helpful if we get in one 🥋🤨.

The dreaded Ushiro Mawashi. A kick( Geri) that truly requires balance, precision, hip rotation and timing. When it hits…you’ll know it😲giving or receiving.

Oh yes, it’s been birthday week and I’m having a ball☺️🥋🎁. There’s nothing better than sharing what I love with others in alignment. We all have the same goal to better humans and karate is just one and we come to show it! “We are not here to be average, we are here to be great!” ❤️ 💪🏽
For ladies of Vanguard 👏🏽🥋. We continue to fight the fear. ❤️
