A short note about the word feeling (kankaku in japanese). If you split it in two and use kan (piercing through) and kaku (side). Kankaku can be understood as the way to make visible the invisible by going through the appearance of things.
(free interpretation of Sensei’s class on Friday).
Japan trip 41 update:
I am just coming back from a class with Senô sensei, it is always a fantastic moment of taijutsu. We did a lot of hanbô techniques as the hanbô is very similar in its use as the tachi. We finished with tachi techniques, mainly mutô dori against tsuki.
A very rich class indeed, I wish we could have more classes with him.
