Dear friends,
Soon we will meet for this 20th adventure of the Jupi Summer Camp! I came back from Japan a few days ago with a new vision on our art as usual. The time spent with sensei and the many classes we had there have shaped a new understanding that we will share together during the evening sessions and dinners.
Unfortunately (or not) I didn’t bring back the hot weather with me (the other day I gave a class at the hombuand the temperature was 39° centigrades! The hot weather is gone and we do not know if it will come back It will be much better for the training but it might get chilly in the evenings. So if you are beginning to pack your things maybe you should add some warm clothes.
This seminar is always for me like the apex of my year of teaching and draws the scheme of what the next season will be. It is a very special moment where teaching, training, exchanging and learning are all mixed together for the best possible outcome. The difficulty of this seminar doesn’t come from the training (waza) but from the fact that within the group gathered in that occasion a new vision of life is blooming and will change us in depth and make us happy.
As Hatsumi sensei put it last year: “missing a class is ok but missing a true moment of happiness is wrong”.
Rokkon shôjô!
