I just got back from a gathering of martial artists at an event called Bushi No Te. It was weird being a stranger within a group that has been meeting annually for 30 years.

That weirdness didn't last too long as these were open and extremely hospitable folks. It was impressive seeing just how much they cared for each other and how much they treasure the event.

If that sounds too mushy, know that it was a weekend filled with training. Outside. Under the blazing sun. With axes. I think I am going to have to do this again.

So that's what normal people think about karate!

CAPE CORAL, FL—Marcus Webster, a full-grown adult with a job, responsibilities, and who stopped being 10 years old over 25 years ago, was observed walking into a karate studio yesterday, sources confirmed.
