GAUDI HOTEL - EFERENCE AND FULFILLED A DREAM

We started the month of August. On July 30, taking advantage of the wedding I went to my student, Toni Piqueras shihan and Rosa, I was invited by Shihan Peter Zapatero to teach a class at the Hotel Gaudí. In this first text of August I leave you with the letter of Peter Shoemaker and his feelings after class. I would like to highlight once again my eternal gratitude to my Master Hatsumi Sensei. A hug.
HOTEL GAUDI .- Reference and fulfilled a dream.
The words of Peter, to start the class, were a reminder that for more than ten years, one last class, as a complete cycle, as striking as that Hatsumi Sensei while he was resting there, to return to Japan the next day.
There were many classes in that cold room without mat, where large buyu passed, but the latter kind of Pedro Fleitas, surpassed the unthinkable.
Just fifty people, from many places, but particularly in Madrid, Canary Islands, Córdoba, Logroño, Segovia and more, began to feel a kind of before, where the need for many instructors for training, was compensated in two hours training.
Shinken Gata, Pedro flew over the marble room, something was happening the bujin were there, Peter had fever, took several days sick with flu, not listening, not smell, yet their movements were the most.
Koto Ryu’s work stood out in terms of positioning, shock to the Kyusho, but for me Peter, moved as ROPP Kuji Biken (six directions of cut) the six elements (CHI, SUI KA, FU, KU and Shikin applying the elements of GO GYO, with blows and applying hidden KOKU, emptiness.
Or what is the same on Shinjitsu, the reality of combat.
His students, attacked, but failed to reach him, he hid again and again and Shikin (intention), came and went as usual, as if it were easy.
Continuously, their movements were not focused on the opponent but to the possibility of being surrounded, and there appears his JUPPÉ sessho, feel and intuit about him, “spectacular.”
Kasumi no ho, the true martial artist. With the ability to convey things that can not be explained, Art. KASUMI NO NO HO O Sekai, the step of evolution in Bujinkan when the technique or how it is needed. This is not only a form that appears in very few who can not study or train, which only a few large and Pedro Fleitas, dominate, as it must, without thinking about it.
Sensei I felt there, I note as protected in their movements, their momentum was not on, got it around us. Thanks to all attendees to come and witness once more to these feelings and allowing me to remember a dream and fulfilled. As was to be back training with my teacher at the Hotel Gaudí.
