DANCING IN THE EMPTY / OPEN OF HAND

Inside kara-te is a dance,
an endlessly flowing place of harmony, joy, and easy smiles.
It is in every joint and fibre of the body, whether moving or still,
in the unified body-mind-spirit,
and it extends to everything one does.
It is the kara-te way, which is also the Okinawan way.

My kara-te studies have focused on understanding this dance:
what it is, how to pull it together, how to teach it,
how it developed, what makes it unique in the world,
and how to live it.

While kara-te students must master the dance
if they are to to master the art, little is written about it.
This offering - from 17 years of study and 4+ years through 7 drafts -
is a thank you for the gifts of the inner kara-te dance
and the dedication of my teacher to it.

Dancing in the Kara of Te is not for sale in e-book format. Only the sample pages offered here can be viewed electronically, with the hope that they make clear the need to have a hard copy in hand. Just as kara-te is a hands-on, full-body way of learning, so, too, this book should be held, read, and referred to in a hands-on, 3-d way.
