| Kyoto Trip |
We finally reached to Kyoto to meet Payet Sensei. We have been talking about it, I have been hoping to do it since I met a few people who learned from him. I guess it was the right time for me to finally meet him.
Payet Sensei tells us to put "Zero Power", yet to be stronger with hips and knees. He often tap/slap/punch our shoulders to loose the intensity, then put our hips down to where we had never imagined before... it felt like to be stronger with lower body 5 or even 10 times than I usually do, and being zero with upper body. Its like...his will stays in his lower body and shows nothing (meaning no ego) with his upper body. But the will stays in his lower body is so strong, like no power can move him.
How he conducts the class is not too formal, I mean in pattern wise, it starts with parts of the movements, including kihon dosa, then move on to techniques. His dojo has many beginners but it's like they are doing the techniques before they know it.
