I go to the gym almost every day. Not because I’m all buff or anything. I just like to stay in decent shape. And since as humans we are creatures of habit, I always go at about the same time. On Saturdays I typically do cardio. And the elliptical machines at my gym face the basketball court which has glass (actually probably Plexiglas) walls so you can see what is going on in there.

Anyway this brings us to exactly what is going on in the gymnasium on Saturdays around 11:00 in the morning. There is a group of people that meet up to do their karate stuff. I have no idea which one of the karate disciplines that they practice. Whichever one it is, they get to play with some cool stuff though. They all have martial arts weapons. And they really know how to swing these things around.

So on Saturdays it is like I get a free show. And frankly it is really fun to watch these folks as they do their drills with these martial weapons. I have never been one to like going to the gym. It is a chore for me. But on Saturdays I kind of look forward to watching these martial artists do their thing.
