Karate
is hot at New York City's tony Reebok Sports-Club/NY. Sensei
John Mirrione teaches four classes every week and also
gives private lessons. He uses the Shorinjiryu style, which "incorporates
mind, body, and spirit in harmony." Students such as Kathleen
Turner, 43, learn quickly that this class goes way beyond Hollywood-style
chops. According to Mirrione, his karate is "an intensive program
of fitness, philosophy and meditation. It is very peaceful and positive."
