1 hour isn't much, but I'd take it at the drop of a hat to train just one more time from my Sensei!!

Keinosuke Enoeda would pretty much be at the top of my list, my instructor used to speak about him a lot.

Why do you feel like you are not worthy?

Is it lack of technique or a physical prowess?


Regarding my list:

Kimura Masahiko: From what I understand, he was the type who would practice solo using a rope on a tree to stimulate a throw. Almost all people say that judo must be done with a partner and there is a significant truth.

But then Kimura did solo training with judo by practicing its mechanics and making the movements a reflex.


Jet Li: Although he is a martial arts actor, he has exceptional movement and flexibility. As a student of boxing, I love his footwork in fist of legends when he was imitating a boxer. He may not have been a real fighter but he for sure has some amazing exercises and training concepts worth learning.

Neither!! It's a personal feeling, brought on through personal as well as professional loss!!

I cant say I know what you mean, but from reading your posts, you seem like a pragmatic person that takes a logical approach towards things.

Anyway, the reason I brought up technique and physical prowess was because, in some martial arts gyms/dojo/organizations, you have to prove yourself to the headmaster or the headmaster may just teach advance classes.

I'd love to train with Sosai Oyama, already train(ed) with Hanshi Arneil, so Sosai himself would be the dream.

To the bold type above...

Currently, I'm the "headmaster"; I'm the Kaicho of the SKKA.

I think a training day with Stuart Anslow or Iain Abernethy would be fun.
