Today, Asai Tetsuhiko Sensei would have
turned 85.
Recently, I have been reviewing all the kata
that he introduced, most of which I learned directly from him. This is a
process I regularly do, even though I only specialize in a handful of kata.
Today’s training was again focused on 雷光 (Raiko), which I
have been reviewing from my notes. I’m also working on the
five 常行 (Joko) for my kihon, of which I
was bestowed unique renditions.
I’m very thankful to Asai Sensei for his mentorship—and
will continue to strive for improvement—as he encouraged me to do.
| The journey continues... The memories give power. |
