Sorry, this post is a little late, but just found this pic and realized I need to put it up. Yes, another Friday farewell class, with another German guest. This time Daniel Lubecki, from Munich (the only one who timed out the jump, other than Otsuka-san).


Daniel trained everyday 3 or 4 times for almost a month. Daniels last week was the hardest. Thursdays kenshu was just Ando Sensei, the uchideshi and Daniel. After 30 minutes of kihon waza, we had another 30 mins of non-stop jiyu waza. Daniel never gave up, he held in there right to the end. Good job!

P.S. I have no idea how this picture tradition began, maybe Otahara-san.
