Reason #27:
Beach training! We get to do karate on the beach and in the water! This is a wonderful tradition practiced by Seido dojos all over the world. Thousand Waves has two beach training days per summer--one for kids and one for adults. The kids’ Beach Training is followed by a pot luck. The adults’ Beach training is preceded by a wonderful sunrise seated meditation. We sit in seiza (martial kneeling position) facing the water meditating in the dark until we feel the first rays of sun on our faces (if we are lucky and it’s not a cloudy day!). Beach training is one of my favorite days of the year!
