All through school I had never felt that I had a class that offered more than I could learn. It may have been more than I wanted or more than was interesting, but never more than I could. At least until now.
I’m enrolled in an evening class, twice a week for 90 minutes. I’ve always rather been an average student in the best class than the best student in an average class. Well, I finally got my wish and this class, for what we’re there to learn has two of the best teacher; ever.
On the left is Mr. Sasa (Rokudan), and the right is Mr. Shin (Kudan).
I’ve been taking Judo classes now for the better part of 6 years now, and am finally to the point where I am starting to see just how much I don’t know. In some ways it’s exciting that I have something that will be a never ending source of learning and refinement, in other ways it makes me kind of sad knowing that even if I had the time I wouldn’t ever be able to learn everything they have to teach.
