one of my Young Lions wanted to know what would happen if I couldn't break the whole stack with my elbow?

I guess we'll never know...

After we complete drills and lessons, we bow out and then get to what "Young Lions" LOOK FORWARD TO doing AFTER training:

Tamishiwari
-aka-
Breaking Boards!
OSU!!

We also had a very special showing of the "Lion Heart Pride" and the fierceness of a "lioness", when our "expecting" Mother wanted to give breaking a try.

SHE DIDN'T TRY...
SHE DID...


It's in the DNA🧬

At the Lion Heart Kyokushin dojo, Friday's are Kumite and bunkai. Class was supposed to have been cancelled but a change in plans gave me the opportunity to call class back to session.

As an appreciation, I decided to have an informal class with no uniforms. Just shorts and T-shirts and we ran drills.

The Lions pride shows in my "young Lions" and they're growing with every class, every lesson, every drill.
