I just found some old notes I had written down after an ‘instructors workout’ years ago, and there it was, combination #88. It’s certainly interesting. Again, if you have any combinations that aren’t yet in the archive, please share.
Now THAT was a weekend.
As is obvious by my previous post, last weekend was the East Meets West seminar. I can’t give a complete recap, as that would be more like an article, but here’s some highlights:
Motobu Chosei, Soke and Inaba Hanshi. Period. Genuine articles.
Tokunaga Sensei and Sugiyama Sensei of the Jigen-ryu. Way to step in in the clutch for your teacher. People have been contacting me to express their thanks for your seminar section. Outstanding demo as well.
Professor Kimo Ferreira and his wife Kiko. It was great to see them, and Kiko did an amazing job as translator.
Spending the weekend with all of the above: Priceless.
Master Bill Chun, Jr., both during the seminar, and talking after.
And touching base with friends both new and old. Catching up with Marlon Wilson, my partner on my shodan test, Todd and Nelson from Connecticut, Gerry Green and the New York crew, Sigung Duncan, Ron Broughton and the Syracuse folks.
I hope to have a complete report in soon, but right now I’m just busy enjoying the aftermath.
It's the big one.
This weekend is the East Meets West seminar, and I’m looking forward to it greatly. I’m trying to recover from a (stupid) back injury but will be there no matter what. Anyone else going? Has anyone been living under a rock and not heard of it? If you get a chance, please say hi – I’ll be easy to find. Look for the young guy walking like an old man. By the way, if you are doing standing barbell bicep curls and you catch yourself breaking form to get ‘just one more’ and get away with it, don’t go for another.
