The Moment Our Breathing Became One — Karate Class at Shinshu University and June Tokyo Karate Dojo Experience

日本語

May passed very quickly this year. There were many warm days, and I felt how fast the seasons are changing.

This month, I taught a karate class for international students at Shinshu University in Matsumoto, Nagano. Shinshu University is my alma mater, and I was a member of the karate club when I was a student. Because of this connection, I have been invited to teach this class once a year for the past several years.

This time, 32 students joined the class. What impressed me the most was the moment when everyone’s breathing matched naturally, and the whole class felt united during the kiai. At the beginning of the class, I talked about “matching movement and breathing” and “moving with your partner’s breathing.” I was very happy that all 32 students were able to feel and share this experience.

My time in Nagano helped me reset my mind and body, and I felt refreshed.
