Eric introduced us to Sensei Chabaud, Renshi 7 Dan Jodo, 5 Dan Iaido,
who generously lent us two iaitos to train with. The class was an hour
long, but felt significantly shorter. Sensei Chabaud lead us through
some warm-ups followed by multiple repetitions of each Seitei
kata.
Every so often, he would come by to give some advice that was brief and
to the point. It was a clear sign of his experience that I didn't have
to understand French, and he didn't have to speak English, for each
suggestion to come out loud and clear.
After the class, one of the students volunteered to translate my
message of appreciation to the Sensei and a request for a group photo.
What a pleasure it was to find this isolated bit of Japanese culture
within the hustle and bustle of this western port city.
