If you could have an hours private tuition with any martial artist, past or present, who would it be? And why?

There's no one that I'd choose to train with because, before I can train with anyone, I first must be worthy, and I'm not worthy; and right now, I feel like I'm the furthest thing from being worthy!!

Takeda Sokaku, Azato Ankoh, Funakoshi Gichin,
Only an hour, though. That's tough.

Not sure how much I'd come away with in a 1 hour private lesson. But if I could, I'd go with Chojun Miyagi. My favorite kata are Goju kata. Just watching him do them would be enough. It would be good to see how much they've been changed over the years/generations. I could also ask him what bunkai he had in mind when creating his kata; coming straight from the horse's mouth leaves little doubt.
Of course all of that assumes he has to answer each question fully. |
