This Isn't Cool, At All!!

[sensei8]

Thank you, Alan, for your supportive words as well as your advice; they mean the world to me.

I've had a few preemptive discussions with those who serve in the SKKA's Higher Hierarchy about what Dr. Childs has recommended. It seems that from what I can discern from these conference calls, that we're on the same page, referring to my roles as the Kaicho of the SKKA/Hombu, and this was quite refreshing because the prior Higher Hierarchy, for the most of them, were quite ambivalent towards a many things...God rest their souls!!

I'll run a gambit of classes when I'm In-House at the Hombu, just to see what I do do, and then tweak it properly, with the help of many In-House resident Instructors whose ranks will range from Godan and up. Of course, those of the Higher Hierarchy will make their recommendations as well.

I've ran several informal classes at my makeshift dojo, Kyuodan Dojo, and I did experience an episode or five where I was out of breath just after segments of 5-10 minutes in the introductions of my hands-on explanations, and my heart rates were near 193bpm. Good thing that Dr. Childs taught me 7 things to do to lower my heart rate and breathing.

Breathing and staying calm is essential. Sweating over and worrying about the small stuff isn't worth the bother.

Having an assistant instructor or two by your side to do the demonstrations and physical activities, while you are the task master, staying cool, calm and keeping yourself together, free of over exertion and stress.

This way everyone benefits, you, the assistants and students, by creating a win win win situation for all.

The small stuff?? To me, there's nothing small about Afib whatsoever.

Afib isn't small but being concerned about unnecessary things that you cannot change that create tension are, for instance my mother in law.
