The gym on the Titanic... Amazing how things have changed!

Came across this exercise gymnasium from the Titanic ship (1912)🚢♥️​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
The gym on Titanic was, as the ship itself, a marvel of its era. There was an electric horse, electric camel, rowing machine, and cycling machines. The first class passengers were able to buy a ticket, priced at one shilling, and spend a workout session under the watchful eye of Thomas McCauley.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
For context, in 1912 Joe Pilates was living in England (from Germany), where he worked as a self-defense instructor for detectives at Scotland Yard. In 1926 Pilates came to the US, where he opened his fitness studio with his wife Clara.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
I find it so interesting to see what fitness equipment was trending at the early part of the 1900’s - in essence - what may have sparked Pilates’ exercise creations. In this photo you can see a barrel-like piece, an elevated mat/table and during this era it was common to see stall bars as well.💪​​​​​​​​

Well done all of you!
It was a great competition. So happy to be apart of the Goshukan karate family! Was also amazing to take part in some Judging, definitely lots to learn but was a great opportunity to be apart of it

Bob Marley was once asked if there was a perfect woman.

And he replied

Who cares about perfection?

- Even the moon is not perfect, it is full of craters.

What about the sea? very beautiful, but very salty and dark in the depths.

And what about heaven? Always so infinite, that is, the most beautiful things are not perfect, they are special and every woman, every man and every human being chooses who is special in his life.

Stop trying to be "perfect." Better try to be free and live doing what you like, without trying to please others. ♥️
