... kempo ...

8/7/2025:: ... again the end of another day, with still a bit of time to write, and considering the number of note(s) so far written, almost a moral obligation to write again although the purpose seems a bit unclear, but then again writing is writing, an exercise of hand and spirit, ken zen pen ichi nyo, in other words write and fight, even though the actual kempo training is less inspiring than in my experience from the past, where indeed, I often acted like a show-off, to experience the performance trance that was at the time, for me at least, dominant in our training sessions, inspired by our sensei, who was an actor, ... now, on the other hand, I enjoy the experience of being the guide on the side, looking at, and instructing other people, still showing my skill(s) by inflicting pain, that they accept with a grimace of joy on their face, especially when I explain that I bring about the pain by aiming at their brain, ... again I admire their energy and enjoy the pleasure they obtain from training, and to finish this note, my last words act as a signal -- go for it!
