I should point out that this video is from many years ago. My hand was a bit too uwaoshi back then…there is not enough engagement by the shokon. I should probably delete this video and make a new one…
I have been privileged to see this elegant young lady perform in Obihiro...and under the expert guidance of Gregory sensei, i had no doubt that she would pass...congratulations...you are an inspiration
Thank you for the kind words. I see serious flaws in my hikiwake and hanare when I watch this video two and a half years after it was taken. I’d like to think I’m shooting a little better now, but the truth is that I think I’ve just replaced them with different flaws. Such is ‘progress’, LOL!
Gregory The wonderful truth...perfect practice everyday, and introspection, are the foundation on which we build ....each day a tiny bit better ..and slowly discover...the things ...you did not know ...you did not know.....can you look back at your beginning?...and see where you are today?
