Just in case you were wondering about the calligraphy in the top right of my header:
“The symbol shown to the right is worn on the front of the gi (uniform) on the left of the wearer’s chest. The symbol is Japanese calligraphy artwork for “kyokushinkai,” which is the name given by Sosai Mas Oyama to the karate style he created.”
