Master Beins and I, November
2006 Florida
I had the pleasure of getting away with long time friend, mentor
and instructor GM Beins. Great company, and lots of laughs. I had the
pleasure of receiving some Kata lessons, in the pool. Like you, we worked
out (jogging and lifting weights) on our vacation.
