So I am “official” and it is a good thing, although I have yet to settle into a traveling schedule, in the best case it would be five practices a week, but work may get in the way of the east Bay, and the southern stuff is just too far without a car, which is motivation to at least ZIP it. My feelings are mixed, as there is a lot of verbal instruction, except from the old-school sensei who are also the fiercest, but we’ll see how my new shihan runs things.
