Haiiiiiyaaaaa

Last Thursday, Sensei Teruyuku Okazaki came to teach a class.  Master Gichin Funakoshi founded Shotokan style in 1936.

At the end of the class we bow to a picture of Master Funakoshi(He founded Shotokan in 1936), Sensei Okazaki turned around and said, "Ah! My father's picture". I was not aware of the history, so I was like, this is too cool, our Master's own son teaching me. Well, Sensei just calls him that, but that's enough for me. :)

It was amazing how flexible he was, even at his age. You can learn a lot from a master, even if you only did spend a little time with him.

 
Well, after all this, I had to take a picture with him.
