Kyoto trip

I neglected to write about the trip some of the people from the dojo and I took to Kyoto a few weeks ago. It was a great trip and I hope I can keep in mind some of the many lessons I learned and at some point internalize them. The five of us visited Payet Sensei's dojo and were welcomed very warmly by the other students.

Among the highlights of the trip was Payet Sensei's incredible ability to absorb uke's balance, the 5 hour izakaya nomihodai (all you can drink), picnicing in the imperial gardens and performing an enbu on hardwood (picture) in the middle of a shrine.

I hope it's not too long before I get down there again.

Osu!
