Black Warrior

They say you should never meet your heroes, but they clearly weren't talking about Kagawa sensei.

I’ve spent countless hours imagining what it would be like to train here, but the reality was even more profound than I expected. Thank you, Sensei, for the wisdom and the challenge. 🙏

"New chapter, new challenge! 🥋 I’m officially launching lessons for a global community of kids. We speak different languages and come from different cultures, but on the mat, we speak one language: Karate. Excited to lead this diverse next generation of martial artists! 🌏✨"

When speaking of Bushido, the three qualities considered essential are Loyalty, Integrity, and Courage. When these three virtues are perfectly combined in one man, he is called a samurai of the highest quality.

Oss Karatecas, convido você para seguir a minha página, curtir e sermos amigos 🙏 Vemos alguns termos que procuramos estudar como: BUNKAI, que muitos compreendem como desconstruir, desmembrar, no caso partes de um Kata. OYO, aplicação da parte selecionada, junto a um colega. BUNSEKI, a análise da aplicação é a compreensão disso. OMOTE, que é o que vemos e achamos o óbvio. URA, o oculto e introvertido a ação. Ai procuramos sair do Omote, que é o óbvio e fácil, para o Ura, saindo do simples e começando a criar. HENKA, buscando mudanças e colocando variação e desvios. HONTO, encontrando-se com o real e verdadeiro. Oss. Gratidão a todos.

If you feel like giving up, read this:

1. This is a Phase.

Tough times are just a phase.
They don't last forever.
Life is a cycle of highs and lows.

Remember, this too shall pass.
You're in the middle of the storm now, but clear skies are ahead. Hold on.

2. You Are Stronger Than You Think.

Never underestimate your resilience.

- You've survived 100% of your bad days.
- Inside you, there is an inner strength.
- Your potential is greater than any problem.

Remember, you're stronger and more capable than you believe.

3. Small Steps Count.

Progress isn't always a leap forward.

Sometimes it's tiny, almost imperceptible steps.

Each step, no matter how small, brings you closer to your goal.

Celebrate every bit of progress. Slow and steady can still win the race. Keep moving forward.

4. Remember Your 'Why'.

Think back to the reasons why you started.

Reconnect with your motivation and your goals.

5. Failure is a Stepping Stone.

It's okay to fall but it's important to rise again.

Every setback brings learning opportunities.

Remember, every great success story involves overcoming obstacles.

Keep going. Your story is being written.

6. Practice Self-Care.

Self-care is essential, especially during tough times.

- Eat nutritious food
- Exercise regularly
- Get adequate sleep
- Connect with loved ones
- Engage in activities that bring joy.

It’s not selfish, it's survival. Your well-being matters.

7. It's Okay to Ask for Help.

Remember, you're not alone in this journey.

- Reach out to friends, family, or professionals
- Open up about your struggles
- Seek support when you need it

Strength isn't just about enduring in silence. It's also knowing when to ask for help.

Fight for yourself. No matter how difficult it becomes, never let yourself give in.

After some time, your spark will eventually return.

You will come out happier, healthier, and wiser.

We are in this together.
