What a wonderful surprise! We had a visit from Lyn Cathryn Donnelly during last night's class at the Penobscot Bay YMCA! Always wonderful to see our former Matsubayashi-ryu karate student who now continues her training in Ireland.

Nice. One of my favorite katas in Matsubayashi Shorin-ryu. We do it a little differently in our style.
