The long explanation, I have a lot of work to do.<\/p>\n<p>Lubos brings with him a unique feeling of Japan that I would challenge you to get from any other &#8216;non resident&#8217;.  The control which he exhibits, his use of space and natural movement is incredible.  The feeling of reality in his techniques is terrifying.  Mastering what he has to show will raise your taijutsu to a new level.<\/p>\n<p>For those of you who attended, please work on what he has shown so that we can try to keep that feeling and apply it from to our taijutsu.  We were lucky enough to cover ukemi (receiving) right through to kenjutsu, bojutsu and tanto (sword skills, staff kills and knife work).  I know there is some sharing that needs to take place for those who didn&#8217;t make it to the Thursday and Friday night classes.  I will do my best to make it down to Calgary for some training in the next few weeks, that is if I am welcome.<\/p>\n<p>Special shout out to <a title=\"Bujinkan Manitoba website\" href=\"http:\/\/www.taijutsu.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\">Bujinkan Manitoba<\/a> for supporting the seminar.  There has already been <a title=\"Lubos Seminar Comments\" href=\"http:\/\/japanton.com\/?p=100#comments\" target=\"_blank\">some feedback<\/a> on the seminar, but I look forward to hearing more from those who attended.  Your feedback after all is what make me think that people might actually read what I have to say from time to time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In short it was awesome.
