Crazy beginning
These past two weeks were crazy like hell.
I've had heaps of works in the office and after work I usually had meetings after meetings - stuff that I did not have time for in December cos of the holiday rush.
In the meantime it turned out that maybe the Kungfu Master can have an opportunity to study hopefully for free at the uni where I work, so he applied. I hope he can make it. It's pretty disappointing when you have to postpone your studies for years and years and after then for more years again just because you can't save the money for the high tuition fee and for your living costs. Not to mention that you're ain't getting any younger meanwhile. So at least it's a chance for him.
Also, this past week I met K., the Iranian guy from the Village of the Nine Waterfalls. He studies here in Budapest for about 4-5 years and I helped him to find a dojo in Budapest. Now he trains at a student of my former instructor, A. The meeting was kind of due as we never managed to meet in person since he entered the country, despite that I helped him a lot with training and everyday life related info. Anyway, he seems to be a young and tame guy, mixed with some amount of naivity.
He wants to publish a website about how ninjutsu in Iran is a fake one and such. I told him to be very careful with this and did not recommend him publishing this site (neither did my former instructor). But it'll be his decision at the end, so, that's it.
Anyway, he comes with us in a month to attend T.F's seminar in Belgium, organized by my giant pal, Jan :-P
I am really looking forward to it, as I have heard many good things about T. I also want to ask him about teaching children. I saw some very fascinating video on the net recorded in his dojo where they taught basics of BBT for children. I liked it.
So this year's theme is Kukishinden Ryu. Just when I started getting used to the feeling of Shinden Fudo Ryu, now I have to approach the whole thing from a totally different angle.
The movement itself is very.. hmm... strange or uncomfortable. Last training I even got pissed off for a second because of my own clumsiness, but it flew away quickly :) It's a real challenge to catch the feeling. Now I am thinking about how to simulate yoroi without actually buying a real one. I have a bulletproog vast at hand but that's not the same as wearing a yoroi. I still have to think a bit about it.
Tomorrow more, but now...
Now I feel a burning urge to sink into the bath-tube, full of hot water, spiced up with a bit of Ylang-Ylang oil :-) Hmmm... a real pleasure for body and soul...
