Bother bother bother ... over the years I have managed to collect bits and pieces of info about martial arts etc. Some of it I had been preparing for pushing to my club website (and this one). After William's questions about kata, I went looking for it.
Managed to find the bits about what kata was about and have pushed it to this site, but can't find the stuff about each kata I collected - the changes, new information, my thoughts are lost, gone forever. I think I still have the original handout from way way way way back - I was a blue belt way back in 1988 - so I could start collecting it again.
Of course that brings another thought to think about ... as I was sticking people's details in from the forms handed in at Senjo, there were soo many birthdates after I started training. Mind you if I recall things correctly, the 1st Zen Do Kai class was in July 1970 (a year before I was born).
I suppose it is all a reminder of the depth of knowledge we have about us to share, even if we think we lose some of it.
