Before leaving on the trip we watched an episode of The Deadliest Warrior: Samurai vs Viking. Once again, I learned that the samurai skills and weapons were way superior than the viking's brute force. This truly demonstrated that martial arts is more about skill and technique; rather than brute force.
The trip to the Imperial Dragon Dojo in Brooklyn was excellent! We met Hanshi Myron Lubitsch, who is a great master and person as well. We learned as soon as we got there that he is very disciplined and responsible. I could see that nothing bothers him more than people being late to his dojo.
He showed us new techniques to control your opponent with simple but effective moves. He also showed us authentic swords that he has collected from all over the world. He did a cutting demonstration with a katana by slicing a card into pieces just by touching the blade. I realized that the katana is a weapon you should not play around with.
