Early this morning, I practiced Tai Chi (sohen-taikyokuken) and went for a jog.

 While I primarily train in Japanese martial arts and budo, I’ve had the opportunity to learn Tai Chi—which originated in Taiwan—from Master Kuniaki Kai.

 I believe that learning the movements in forms and the techniques used in sparring—as well as martial arts from other countries that differ from those in Japan—is important for enhancing my overall abilities.

 With the weather so nice and the sky clear, both the Tai Chi and the jogging felt wonderful.
