Kyra is one of Hanshi Ader's students. Her mom, Nicole, told her I was at the Colorado Kobudo camp. She made arrangements to take off work, did her homework (college classes in high school), and finished her chores just to come and train with me for the day. She made my weekend. I told her she has strong karate and should not be afraid to show it. She is pursuing a career as a psychotherapist. How wonderful. PS. Her cat 'dara' and my 'sophie' compete for Hanshi Ader's attention during zoom classes.
