Lee Degnan - Kata

Close your eyes
Inhale
imagine your lungs
filling with life giving air
As everything in life
is a piece of you
and you of it.
Nothing exists
but the form...
Kata.
So practiced,
so perfect
and falls together
as it's meant to be,
Naturally.
Find the power
from within
the natural flow of your movement
Find the force
of every kiai
begining in your solar plexus
So strong
Imagine every measured step
breath
and counter
as your enemies
fall at your precision.

Let the sensei
Show you how it's done,
for it is him
you will need to emulate
to be the perfect warrior...
for it is the sensei
who will teach you
how to master your life...

It is the sensei
who will teach you form,
control
discipline
respect...
Kata.


For my sensei,
My teacher,
My father,
Lou Stanishia
