    Josette trains intensively with the heir to the highest-ranking Sensei in this strictly defensive art.

    Josette travels to Okinawa, once the Ryu Kyu Kingdom, to train in the original Karate Do with its top Sensei, hoping to uncover the true meaning of Do or the Way.

    1. Capoeira

    Josette catapults herself into the Afro-Brazilian world of Capoeira, and gains a unique insight into Brazil’s slave history and culture.
