Oguri Sensei Training
I managed to make it to Oguri Sensei’s training at his own dojo. It takes about 2 hours on train (each way) with 3 train transfers. It was a very small class but the training was fantastic. We worked on the kihon (not kihon happo). There are certain points in techniques, ways of taking moving to capture kazushi, or to control the weapons of your opponent which Oguri sensei views as the kihon. He explained his views of the qualities of a shodan, godan, judan and beyond. Remind me to let you know when I get back if you are interested. I do not want to put it on the site because I may have understood incorrectly and do not want my foolishness in writing.
