Once Upon a Time in Japan: Final Day of the Int'l Study Session
Today was the last day of the Hombu study sessions. There was a juho practice in the morning and then free practice afterward. It was alot of fun. Some great skill I saw there. I got thrown around pretty good by the presiding senseis and had my wrists cranked a little too much by the italians. The cranking wasn't very good, but all the rest was. You know, I dont really know what it is about me and the Italians and why we just dont get along. First, the italians screwed up an entire week for us at the Shaolin Temple, then they claim our soldiers tried to assisinate one of their journalists who got out of captivity because her hostage takers were paid off, then they, claimed by me - so it may not be right, with what I felt as negative energy during the randori practice, and now they are cranking my wrists really hard during juho. Yikes.
Gary got his 5th Degree certification and Tony and David both got their 3rd Degree certifications. (Go-dan and San-dan).
Afterwards we hung out. Had dinner. Walked around. I did laundry at this hole in the wall place.
Then i got back and met some people at the bar next door to the place we went to last night.
Met lots of British kenshi. It was fun.
Goodnite.
