Stage de Dübendorf
du 22 septembre 2007
It's almost 2 years that started directing jodo-stages throughout the year at the Charles Martig's Seishin dojo in Dübendorf, near Zürich. For those who haven't met Charles: He is a former student of Séverin Corpataux, with whom I've practiced when I started jodo 15 years ago. For professional reasons Charles had to leave us and stopped his jodo-practice. About 3 year ago he asked me to help him with the direction of the jodo-group he has founded.
Therefore, with pleasure, I go there about five times a year. In march Pascal Krieger has even directed a stage of one day.
During our last stage at the 22nd september we have done very detailed work on the kihon sotai. This took us all morning. After the lunch-break we were able to work according to level. Flavia finished Omote on the ken-side and Tristan could continue his progression on the jo-side. Charles was able to test his Ran ai, recently learned, opposite Jean-Jérôme, who had accompanied me. He served as uchi dachi for the practicants of Zürich and I want to thank him.
It should be known that this stage is open for everyone. This year, we already had the pleasure to welcome Matthias and Rolf.
