Re: Bag?

Whether to be hung up on change or to 'just keep going' and take a 'whole of life' approach? The two examples given show what is more important, to me anyway. As regards new findings, the current thinking for me is that it is not really about finding out 'new' biomechanics and so on. More about disc...

Re: Wado Academy Winter Course 2011

I never knew we had someone from Denmark. You should have said and would have got your own country photograph. It's funny how as the week progressed, there was less and less written text from me. I was lucky enough to be given permission to take photos during the training and was able to get really ...

Re: syllabus differences

At the recent course, someone was taking 3rd dan grading. The opponent was using a metal tanto, blunt edge but pointy enough to be a pain. An American friend then asks were they just being flash with the metal knife, as he assumed all gradings were done with a wooden tanto. I laughed out loud, we're...

Re: Wado Academy Winter Course 2011

Day 5, the last day. Back to normal for mokuso. Even with tired bodies, mokuso was very welcome.

Shiomitsu Sensei took the warm up. He then moved onto kihon, pairworks and idori.

My brain is too tired to write any details unfortunately.

Day Four had the shortest mokuso ever. As Sensei gave the mokuso command, we had barely time to close our eyes before he said yame.
