This thread is simply to let everyone know what an enjoyable morning I had on Saturday. My son and I took a drive over to Winchendon, MA. To visit Mr. Ken Savage at The Winchendon Martial Arts Center ~ Bujinkan Savage Dojo. We where met as soon as we entered by Mr. Savage and after introductions, he told us a little of his work history and his history in the arts. I will not go into any of that but I will say I was impressed and that the man has the knowledge and background to be a great teacher.
We watched most of the childrens class before taking a break to do a short walk around town, and for me to get something to stop the coughing spell that was hitting me. We then returned to watch the adult class. With a mixture of people in class from a gentleman who looked to be in about his 3rd or 4th class to those much more experienced the class had a good mixture of experience. As Mr. Savage put them through there drills and into their workout I enjoyed the way he built upon each movement so that it lead and blended into the next. His explanation of what to do and the how and why was excellent.
All in all we had a good morning and we will return soon to visit and get to know Mr. Savage and his students better.
OH, least I forget I got to meet nitflegal aka Matt. He is a respectful young man that shows much promise of becoming a knowledgeable martial artist.
In closing all I want to say is that if any of you wish to learn or study the ways of Bujinkan than the studio in Winchendon is the place to go.
