Hi all (Moi) , Mira here. First things first...My bag arrived - yay for that. As my previous post was almost a novel, I will try to make this post short & sweet. Today was the Grand Master Ji seminar, what can I say, it was impressive! I think the full meaning of the opportunity to be in a seminar with the founder of Hapkido will dawn on me later on.
Dojunim showed us the basic forms of his style, we did a lot of locking, falling (well, those with bad backs like me did balance breaks), sin moo Hapkido kicks and then counter attack techniques. I walked away with many eye openers, but also it was interesting to see how our style of Hapkido differs from Dojunims style.
Well, a million photographs later the seminar was wrapped up. Some black belts got certificates, it was impressive to see GM Ji make them. It took a while, and looked like a process he takes great pride in, and each certificate gets the same preparation time.
We are half way in the week and I can say that my body is feeling the training...but who's complaining! It's wonderful to be on the mats. Training with the Americans, Aussies and the Finns. I have been taking pictures, and will try to post some before the week is done.
Train hard and keep up the sweat on the mats!
(Random ITS fact: There are no walkways in Lancaster. If you are a pedestrian and want to walk somewhere...prepare to dodge cars and trucks on your way).
Oh yeah, and I clearly failed on the keeping the post short and sweet :)
