The last two days in Sydney training with Fujiwarra Hanshi has been exhausting physically and mentally. 7 hours yesterday and 5 the day before, minimal breaks and intense training takes you to another level. Sessions like these challenge you to keep focussed, to keep pushing and force you to find your limits and go beyond. Getting to 9.29 pm last night working on Suparinpei and Hanshi says ‘mo Ichi do’ . It took every last piece of energy to perform it at full focus and intensity. Forcing us to rise to his expectation. This is what a great instructor does. Very grateful to be able to learn from Hanshi. Looking forward to today’s rest day before the weekends training starting tomorrow morning.
