Season 3 Premier - Episode 26 - Shorin-Ryu Karate - With Master Jon Bennett
Welcome Back to a brand new Season of Lancelot's Roundtable.
In This Episode…
It's the season premier of Season 3. I'm so excited to welcome Master Jon Bennett who taught me Karate. The particular style of karate we trained in - Shorin-Ryu comes from Okinawa. On today's Roundtable, Jon and I look back at the time of training in his classes years ago, the invaluable lessons learned, and the courage to not quit even when things are difficult.
I'm incredibly proud of this episode and thrilled to be able to share it.
