We had 3 training sessions with Sensei Bruce this summer (12 – 15 Aug). This year he taught us on Aikido fluidity (“dancing” with my wife), self defense, and safely control techniques. We’re happy to see he’s still very strong, flexible and training/teaching hard at the age 64 (he was born 1953). He was training for Manila Drug rehab security teams on the safely control techniques, which are very effective to take the drug users to the rehab centers. He also stressed on keeping center, elbows closed to body and circle movement when performing techniques.
Besides Aikido, Sensei Bruce also trains weight lifting to keep his muscles and testosterone level, yoga to keep his flexibility, relaxation, and cycling in nice weather. We also talked a lot about other topics like kid education, (my over-active son threw a water bottle to Sensei’s head during a training session), his daughters, his Aikido road etc.
