I trying to figure out “Kime” can you help ?? As I understand it (with my limited Wado knowledge) Kime is focus. So taking Junzuki as an example...

Hi, I must have read DKC's comments wrongly. I thought he was talking about posting on this forum, not open courses or what courses were available in his area.
