"Nantanreiken" means "the hall of difficult grace." This is the place where I write about the intersection of traditional Okinawan karate-dō, cultural theory, and trying to become a better human being in these troubling times.

I was once a professor of social theory at the University of Alberta. Now I teach traditional Okinawan karate-dō to a small community of good people in a non-profit dojo in Edmonton.
