So today's surprise guests at practice were two hachidan sensei, who schooled us all something fierce and all in translated Japanese, no less. But it's amazing to see sensei actually older than Shrimp Sensei but even more composed and just as thoroughly dignified, with more fumikomi than any more mortal needs. It's also amusing to watch the Koreans who magically showed up to practice and their very different wham-bam-wham style, though in this case it was even funnier because they were all thoroughly unaccustomed to the back-forward-strike drills, and so they were perpetually out of synch, much to Sensei's chagrin. Still, maybe it's Japanese thing, but poor little Bugley-chan got shoved when he didn't follow through nearly fast enough.
