I held the map flat on the ground and the wind flapped it. The map got a little tear at one corner, near my hand. When Sand came and looked he saw the tear and said: “It’s not a big deal because now we won’t be going there”. I felt wrong and quickly folded the map. While folding it I watched another area starting to rip. I said nothing and put it inside the bag, but I guess that now we won’t be going there either.

Another dojo building session will start at 16:30 today, so veterans who can spare the time can come at 16:30 to help build, clean and make the new dojo better.
Starting at 18:00 in our new Tel Aviv dojo (193 Ben Yehuda St.) we will do striking combos while retreating and then explore the various ways Takamatsu den Ryuha deal with the opponent’s hands while entering to grappling.
Today we start at 18:00 as usual in the AKBAN Jerusalem dojo. We will train some more in the interaction between locks and throws as a function of distance and then we’ll practice combos till the end of lesson randori.

In both training sessions, the one starting at 18:30 and the one starting at 20:00, we will use Ninjutsu joint locks and learn the connection these have to throws.
