Rick Hotton Sensei’s new Holy Molé book is now available! Many of you who’ve trained with him will have heard him mention how deeply connected his karate practice and philosophies are to the ideas represented in the comic strip he drew, which was syndicated and published in newspapers and magazines for 7 years. The very same approach to life and learning can be found in his teaching and in his artistic expression. This collection was compiled with care and intention to offer a respite from the chaos and stress of modern life, and remind us all how to reconnect with our authentic selves. The introduction tells some of the tale of how Molé came to be. If you would like to purchase a copy, it can be found at www.holymolecartoon.com.
