Day 243: Our little dojo ...



In a desperate attempt to keep brain and muscles working ...



I train in day class at our hombu dojo ...



with Demura Sensei.


It's a small, old structure ...


nameplates





weapons









filled with many treasures and history.
















Demura Sensei's many magazine covers ...


celebrity co-workers ...


and awards fill the walls.


















An atmosphere steeped in accomplishment and learning.



Thank You Sensei!

The Santa Ana dojo is definitely one of a kind. The spirit, history and presence is amazing there. I always love being there. It just says "Sensei."
