    A candle

    A candle can burn all day and all it does is blends in to the back ground,
    A candle that burns at night shines bright , moves and shows the way,
    this candle can make a difference,
    the question is does the candle lead the way or does it show away?
    Are we guided by its light or are we drawn by its beauty?
    Which candle do you wish to be?
    Are you guided and shown away or are you just lead by its beauty and drawn away?
    But more to the point when lighting your candle "is it just a candle?"
     
    These words can mean alot or even nothing at all, it's what you see and read and think and not for me to say.
     
    Just a little something for people to read or ponder over
    if you want to read and leave it then thats ok
    but if you would like to read and comment
    lets see what it says to you.

    SWORD NIGHT

    Last Night 20th October 2008
     
    Was a good night and  big thank you goes out to Sensei Brian 5thDan
    who came along to teach all the students the Sword, Sensei taught them Sword Kata's starting the
    students of with Mai meaning forward
     
    The students were shown 3 kata's of Sword to which some had never done Sword before
    and i think managed very well, Sensei Brian showed them the Bunkai (explination) of the
    Kata's as well as teaching the Kata.
     
    He also taught and let them have a go at ippon Katana (one step with sword) which again
    the students all tried there very best.
     
    The students got a fun filled night as they were told alot of history about the sword and the history
    of the Samurai which i hope they manage to hold some of this.
     
    They all so got a look in to other weapons as well as Katana. other weapons looked at were
    the Jo a 4ft staff
    &
    the Bo a 6ft staff
     
    I hope students got something out of the night and it was a very indepth look in to another sided to
    Martial arts.
     
    I do hope students enjoyed it as much as i did and will see all students on Monday.
