Joe Thambu comes to Roppongi!

The best demo, I saw at Embu taught us at our dojo. The teacher, Joe Thambu is indeed a great aikido person and teacher.

Katate Mochi Nikajo Osae-2
Ushirowaza Ryotemochi Sankajo

Class of 6 with 2 black belts from hombu. I enjoyed learning things from a bit different direction. What I saw in his aikido was a lot of Kihon Dosa without any extra/ unnecessary movements. He's really a tiny person with a big smile on his face, yet his aikido is powerful and beautiful.

I was very happy to join the class, however I was sorry that Stumpy had to miss it...
