shibuya

Kiyokawa-kun will take over the Shibuya practice from me starting in July, so he came tonight to see how folks are doing and get an idea of who needs what. He and I split the class, me taking the beginners and him the upper ranks, and then we switched half-way through.
His technique is, of course, dead on. No strength or wasted effort, just pure body mechanics and uncanny timing. I, on the other hand, use every gram of muscle strength I can muster, and slop it on top of a healthy but erratic dose of hip movement. The results are lethal but unstable.
