His classes have been very quiet of late, probably owing to the fact that he's an extremely busy man, but I also feel (and this may just be an incorrect interpretation, but here's to expressing myself anyhow) that the majority of the others have abandoned his classes to focus on training only with our shihan, perhaps because he is very traditional (and the one that will grade you). I feel disappointed for him that people aren't making the effort to train with him, although I was truly grateful to be able to have this opportunity tonight. I believe in having variety in your training, and that training with different instructors is a great thing. In training constantly with just the one instructor we will conform to the one style and perhaps even the one way of thinking. I believe that in Bujinkan, keeping ourselves open to different ways of training, different interpretations of techniques and different experiences is important, and a great strength.
