My trip to Black Belt at 50... and beyond!


My life took a funny turn four years ago...into a dojo! I took my son to karate and found that I didn't like being a spectator. I'm now wearing a black belt. I'm at Steve Lavallees Karate School, Ft Lauderdale NTC dojo. I started this blog to help remember my kata (they're on video, look down the left column). I also share my thoughts on the dojo and beyond. Thanks for visiting, please leave a comment behind. About BBat50.

Two count basics

While this is not a full kata, it is a common and important drill.

Horsestance (in chamber).
One:
Inward block with the right, outward left, upward right, and downward with the left.

Two:
Punch with the right on the 45 left switching to a hard bow.
Punch with the left on the 45 right switching to a hard bow the other way.
Circle kick with the left (rear) leg from the right to the left finishing with a punch from the right and another hard bow.
