Seido 2009: Some Thoughts on the Coming New Year and Kagami Baraki

It seems like just yesterday I was white belt sweating it out in Kagami Baraki--the traditional new year workout with Kaicho where at least 200-250 students and instructors of all ranks were on the dojo floor training together 8 am on the first Sunday in January. This year it's on the second Sunday in January 2009--the 11th. I am now an advanced yellow belt, still training, still learning new things and trying to improve past material. This year, Kagami Baraki means that there is evidence of the principle of everything coming full circle. A great 2008 has come to a close. We have all worked hard and now we greet a new year where we are beginning fresh. A new year and the journey continues. Hope to see everyone at Kagami Baraki!

Osu!
