Always the way. I've just finished training with Yagi Meitatsu who was here
in Brantford last weekend. It is always enlightening to study with such a
man. However sometimes one just looks on in amazement when they demonstrate.
No one was doing the "M" stance to suit him so he demonstrated it. He spread
his legs & then just dropped down. I'll NEVER be able to do that in this
lifetime. I think it is things like this that really define the "experts "
and the rest of us. Hopefully I'll improve over time but I doubt I'll ever
just be able to drop into an M stance like that.
