Re: Hakama drama

Not that I am anywhere near ready to wear a hakama, but my understanding was that tripping was pretty common and a necessary part of the training process.

Something about beginner's mind, remembering to be humble, and all that jazz.

Our sempai who lead class will occasionally trip on their hakama, but not really noticeable to me at this point unless they point it out or mention it. I'm certainly not seeing them do it...
