Oh I’m still in the game. At least up until January was drilling some stand up with an old, young friend. Probably should had said rollin with the punches.
Going with the flow and flowing with the go is basically using your opponents strength against them.
The new normal has randori and sparring put on a hold, at least until the dojo opens back up.
On a sad note a man instrumental in having huge impact in the dojo/school that I’ve been a student of for years had passed away a few weeks ago.
Sensei Jim “ronin” Harrison. He was well known and respected in martial arts.
Josh Barnett studied judo from Mr. Harrison.
Here’s a picture of Sensei Boggs, me and Sensei Harrison. Circa 2009.
After that seminar I was asked to give Mr. Harrison a ride to the airport.
I owned a 1970 Chevy pickup back then. He commented on how nice the truck was.
