Well, what you have heard about it is true!, but we survived! A real shame we cant upload some of the picturesd we have of various peoples feet, which have been torn apart like you wouldnt believe! Those guys look in so much pain and will struggle like mad tomorrow, as we have to be up at 5.30am for what is possibly an even harder session with Kamizuma Sensei.
Fortunately, Sensei Arthur Meek, a man well versed in training in Japan, told me to strap up the big toes, which stopped the blisters in the main.
Thiose competing got to have a mini tournament at the end of training and will have learnt so much for the weekend competitions, as almost without exception, the Nichi Dai students won the fights. They are very straight when attacking and very, very fast.
Kobayashi Sensei Τaught for an hour as well as the main instructors, led by Shiima Sensei.
For those who remember the Winter course, it was more of the same! The last half hour we all paired off with a Japanese student and were drilled until the feet started to give in.
So whilst disappointing that we couldnt all train at Grandmasters yesterday, due to the size restrictions, today more than made up for it.
A beer and a bite, then bed. We all hope tomorrow will be as good as today.
Cheers
