Today we practiced our first kata, the Heian Shodan, which we will need to demonstrate as part of testing for an orange belt.
Once I become a karate blackbelt, I will then be able to star in my own kung fu movies.
I think that chess and karate are beneficial to trading in the stock market. In order to win in chess, you must organize, memorize and use strategic thinking. You must be able to analyze the situation with an open mind and without emotion.
A trait that Richard Dennis looked for when interviewing people for the "turtles" was that they played chess.
I also believe, despite criticism from others, that freecell is beneficial to stock trading. In order to win consistently in freecell, you must use strategic thinking and the ability to "sit on your hands" until you are absolutely sure of your move - this is also extremely important in tournament "touch move" chess and with trading stocks.
