Imperial Dragon Hombu Dojo

Yesterday we attended class and trained at the Imperial Dragon Hombu Dojo in Brooklyn, NY. We met Hanshi Myron Lubitsch. He was our chief instructor of the day. I was the uke of the day, which is the practice dummy. I got the chance to see a real katana up close and learned a new wrist lock that's very effective and painful. At the end, I was rewarded with a red Shorinjiryu shirt that says demo team on it in Japanese. Hanshi told me that I should be honored and I most definitely was honored and grateful. Hanshi was a cool and great instructor. Maybe some day I'll go back.
