Okay, this is a little late. But it is well deserved.
I was visiting Omaha, Nebraska, a couple of weeks ago, and I came upon Sim's Dojo on the internet.
It's an open invite club.
Man! Was it cool. Excellent instruction. A series of interrelated moves to begin with, then some rolling. Five five minute rounds. One big guy. The rest, around 16 of them, within 20 pounds of average - 170 pounds - give or take. All of them in good rolling shape.
Everyone was polite, courteous. No one was out to break the neck of the old guy that nobody knew.
I finished the practice dripping with sweat, and able to walk off the mat. Cool!
Afterward, a group of us talked technique off the side of the mat. I wrote down notes. Excellent, excellent experience. Good times.
Oh, yeah. One of the guys I talked technique with happened to be competition champion Anthony Lopez. I didn't know nothing from nothing until Sensei Sim told me afterwards.
Thank you, Sim's Dojo:
Derek. Eddie. Dexter. Chris. Adam. Matt. Greg. Anthony. And, a bunch of others I didn't get to roll, or talk with.
