Karate students practice kangeiko
Wellington, FL, January 6, 2013: 6:00am, eight students
from the Genbu-Kai Karate school, met at Ocean Ridge Park in North Palm Beach to practice Kangeiko. Kangeiko, loosely translated, means “winter training.” This type of training is a special test of endurance, and forges character development within the participants. It’s also an excellent way for the students to form new friendships. In Japan, Kangeiko is practiced outside, in the snow during the winter. Sensei Moore often held Kangeiko in his New York schools before moving to Florida. While some parents thought it was crazy to practice outside in the snow and cold, the students loved it and looked forward to it each year.
