Question re: Kihon (and other) Kumite   Message List

Re: [Wado Forum] Re: Question re: Kihon (and other) Kumite

Hi Brian,
 
I would have to echo Bob's words here, why wouldn't you interact with
Robbie Smith if you're searching for some answers on kihon kumite and ohyo kumite.
He would have all the answers that you need and an hour in his dojo is better than
surfing the net I would think. I know he has a seminar arranged with Tobin Threadgill
later this year also so it could be very beneficial to contact him right now.
What's the instructor's name where you train Brian.? Perhaps we know each other.?
 
regards
 
Reg Kear

I don't get it. Why would you not interact with Robbie Smith? He is
better than any Wado person I've ever met outside of Japan. He's
better than most of the Japanese instructors I've ever met and I've
met a lot.
I rarely meet Wado people who impress me and Robbie impresses me.
It's just my opinion so take it for what it's worth. He also trains a
heck of a lot harder than most. I get tired just watching him.
