Over the weekend, I took nine of my students to a tournament in Orangburg, SC. That is near the middle of the state. It is one of the smallest towns you will ever go to. The city is huge physically, but only has one or two shopping centers in the middle of it. The theater has four screens and is falling in on itself. I only know of two Chinese resturants and the mall has about 30 stores in it (tiny mall).
We were about five miles from the mall and were passing a gas station in the middle of no where. There was a red light there, but I can't imagine why. I looked to my right and there was a young girl (late teens, early 20's) running down the road in a white karate gi and black belt while shadow boxing. Mind you, were are in the middle of a scene from Deliverance, so we are in the middle of nowhere.
I got to the tournament and asked the host if that was one of his students since it was on the edge of his part of town. He told me it wasn't and he watched her sit at the corner of a busy road throw front kicks for seven minutes (he timed it). He approached her and asked her where she trained and she said some Shotokan school, but the name didn't ring a bell to him.
People amaze me.
