Enzan no Metsuke

The Japanese phrase, "Enzan no Metsuke" approximately translates into English as "View the Distant Mountain."  The Japanese language uses colorful and poetic words to describe abstract ideas, and this phrase has a subtle connotation that means observing something in its totality and its setting, not just what is immediately apparent.  It is a phrase frequently found in the martial ways.


My intent with this blog is to create a resource of materials and ideas related to the study of Karate-Do, specifically Chito Ryu, intended mainly for the students of Crozet Yoseikan in Greenwood, Virginia.  This is in no way to be construed as an endorsement or authorization by the U.S. Chito Kai, or any of its affiliates.  I will make reference to other styles, teachers, etc., and any ideas that are not attributed to someone else can be considered as my own faulty opinions.  Comments are welcomed and encouraged.
