Love this.
Sensei Bob Freitag was MY Sempai.
In every dojo, the difference between a Sempai and a Sensei isnโt just rankโitโs responsibility and presence. A Sempai stands beside you, someone who has walked the path slightly ahead, guiding through action, correcting mistakes, and setting the standard through discipline and consistency. They are the bridge between beginner and mastery, showing what progress looks like in real time. A Sensei, however, stands above the structure, carrying the weight of knowledge, tradition, and direction. They donโt just teach techniquesโthey shape mindset, philosophy, and the overall journey of every student. While the Sempai helps you move forward step by step, the Sensei defines where that path leads.

I was just saying this in class the other night.
From Nagamine, Shoshin Sensei's book. The Essence of Okinawan Karate-Do.
Order of Succession: Each movement in kata must be performed in the following order: eyes first, feet next, hands last. These must be done simultaneously, just as the sunshine streams across a room when a door is opened. There must be no gap in the order of succession. This requires precise timing.

We had several black belt promotions the last few weeks during this awful weather and power outage. Well done to everyone, and Iโm very proud of you all and thankful for the energy you bring to the dojo. Letโs get back to work.
