Old Judo Players

Tonight we had a guest visit us from out of the past. Dave Derrick, I always called him Major Derrick as that was his rank at the military school where I went to school. He's a great guy and came in to observe, but, like all good judo players, got to the point where the watching was not enough, he had to get out and help!

It was really good for my two students to learn from someone other than myself and to hear many of the same things I already tell them from someone else. They worked solidly for the whole time and learned a lot of very little things. Unfortunately, it's the little things that are important and difficult to grasp in judo.
