Training: Kata (Mountains)
Several times I went on a hike to do Kata up in the Mountains of NC somewhere this weekend.
First hike me and my son got up at 6:00am, before daybreak, and hiked up to Triple Falls in Dupont Forest. It was freezing, literally, 30 degrees. The boy was cold… Got up to the falls and did several Kata: Taigo 1, Pinan 1, Too San & Sieunchin + video recorded them for Blackbelt requirements too.
Good stuff…
Second hike was up to a small lake about a mile up from our cabin. Got there and did a few Kata as well: Too San, Taigo 3 & Seisan. There were briars all around and my foot got caught up in one patch of them. Not fun, still picking thorns out even tonight…
Super cool weekend up in the mountains, even with the fires burning just a few miles away. I could use about 3 more days up there.
