Diamond Moments at Nippon - Part 3

The location offered silence and beauty so that the concentration and softness manifested in each strike, each orientation from Senpais or Sensei. My body does not let me forget what this Gashuku was all about: spirit renewal!

The Diamond Moments echo in my kokoro (heart, emotions) and at each moment I reflect if I"m not acting in one of the archetypes that Sensei mentioned. I felt that I have yet much to better myself, but the joy is even bigger when I realize that Sensei is generously showing us the Path to travel. With pain always comes a smile.
The girls, after hours of intensive training in the afternoon, even though very tired, still showed signs of happiness and satisfaction!"
