Nice tribute and thanks for sharing your memories of Sensei. That made me smile.I was the lowly 1st dan but one of Sensei's Deshi's and the one who found him a dojo to teach at. In the two and a half years that I fenced under Sensei, I hit him exactly twice that he didn't let me. I knew it he didn't let me by the surprised look on his face, followed by an ear-to-ear grin that I had gotten by him.
