Ok, leaving work now so I can go for a class at my gym

My father long ago, when we first moved to Naples from Palermo, insisted on my learning self defence skills and I went to a Japanese Karate school at a nearby building used for many individual classes. I got to a high level during my few years there, and I was a “sho-dan”

I have kept up with the fitness and exercises here in Rome, and I have been able to get some of the dojo equipment in my apartment, but I have not been to a class since we moved to the city. My father equated the new existential threat having transformed and he enabled my getting the training I needed with permits to carry a gun.

I enjoyed the exercise aspects of being a martial artist and so I am going to a Tai Chi lesson this afternoon. I don’t have a karate gi 🥋 anymore so I shall change into yoga shorts and a baggy shirt with my new class program.
