On Monday my sensei took us all to the beach where we did a bit of bokken and jo work. It was a lil bit embarrassing at first (a small crowd gathered while we were practicing our Jo kata) but eventually they started to fade into the background and after about 15 minutes it felt like they weren’t there. I’m telling you guys, this was definitely a positive experience for me … all that fresh air and beach sand made for some interesting moments (like getting a mouthful of beach sand after being kaiten nage’d).
Have you guys ever trained at any interesting places other than your/a dojo?
