...I'm not sure I like it. I've gone to some classes. We are doing line drills, ippon and sanbon kumite. We are doing some kata in a move by move prefunctory way. I told myself I'd give it a month, but if things don't pick up, I'm going to move on.
The dojo is affiliated with Kancho Kanazawa's SKIF. It's got a high ranking sensei who is very traditional...whose teacher was Nishiyama Sensei before the big split. I was thinking to myself, this is probably going to be one of the better Shotokan Dojos on the island and it is. It's a lot like what I did as a kid.
It's just that I don't think I can train the line drills and prefunctory exchanges of basics anymore. Anyway, I'm going to keep my committment and give it a month. I'll check in here periodically to update.
