Since recovering from Leukaemia, I have been suffering from severe back injuries.
This must be due to the illness and chemotherapy that have weakened my body.
Even during this seminar, I hurt my back so badly that I was unable to continue demonstrating the techniques and couldn’t do everything I had planned.
So, from halfway through, I had the students do the moving and I just explained.
Furthermore, at the end of the seminar, when I was talking about the concept of SAW and trying to talk about Shihan Aso, various memories came back to me, and I became sad and couldn’t continue.
I was so disappointed in myself.
