Subject: Belated seminar stuff
I just wanted to thank everyone who made the seminar such a success. I
enjoyed meeting many of the people and training in such varied
circumstances.I found it an interesting challenge to try and adapt to
whatever style was being taught and to not just carry on with what I
know...I was particualrly grateful to Chuck Clark who kept leading me into
using different things and to his students who enjoyed helping and me open
up to some very interesting and new approaches to aikido. My students were
somewhat mystified by some of the things I was able to show them. Not as
mystified as I was perhaps but it made for some enjoyable classes as we
worked together.
Thanks once again and I hope we can do it all again next year....
Also a special thanks to Jill who wanted to see some Yoshinkan stuff....It
was quite a treat as we Yoshinkaned / Kokikaied our way through techniques
and concepts...
Philip
