Hello Karate Fam!
This is my experience of a very special training!
Rick Hotton Sensei & Melissa Bell Sensei led a hybrid Shotokan Karate/Aikido Seminar hosted by Sensei Karen MacDonald's Dojo 'Petaluma Karate Club'. It was an honor to participate once again and train with the magnificent Rick Hotton Sensei. It was an even greater privilege to be Sensei Hotton’s “Uke” (partner) for the majority of his demonstrations. He truly has been one of my mentors over the last few years, and has greatly influenced my karate training and views on martial arts as a whole. Also, it was my first time meeting Melissa Bell Sensei. Bell Sensei has a gentle spirit, yet her Aikido can be crushing when she chooses--embodying an ancient Japanese Martial Arts precept, of the sword that can take away life, while also having the choice to give or restore life.
I learned so much, and look forward to future encounters with the Sunday Morning Keiko community, stay tuned!
Oss,
Jason
