btw.. good point about his 'not posturing'... he's very humble. His kendo is great and it gives me fits, but he's so good at bringing his kendo level down to anyone else's level... then he ratchets it up just enough to make you work for it. Just an outstanding teacher.

That he managed to pass 7.dan when he'd basically been around nothing but kids for so many years is a real testament to his person and ability.

Of course.. every time I see him relaxing, he's smoking a cigarette, which really infuriates me even more.. because he'll stay on the floor for an hour straight of jigeiko while everybody else is dropping like flies.

Here he is... third guy from the left on the front row (directly in front of Lew Murphy)
