Eleven years ago, me, Shihan Paul, and three other students (Senpai Dorian and Senpai Charles, who are fellow black belts, and Kenny, who made it to advanced green belt, but then stopped coming to class; no idea what happened to him, though that’s not unusual — people disappear all the time….) at our dojo went on a hiking trip to New Paltz. It was a great trip, one I enjoyed immensely.
Here’s a picture Shihan took of us sitting on a very high rock on that foggy afternoon in 2006: Kenny, Senpai Charles, Senpai Dorian, and me.
