Re: O'Sensei's bath
not exactly the original topic, but being a humor thread, maybe I can get away with an old story from the old NY Aikikai...
about the showers. In order to get to the showers, you needed to pass by the seating area, for they were near the entry door to the dojo, which was on the second floor of a loft building.
Someone mentioned towels, well it was a game to quietly hold on to the towel as the fellow students of ours walked by in their gi, holding the towel, if the towel was in the right hand, nearest the seating area. I never saw anyone fall from this, but they sure were startled as they walked by and the other end of the towel stayed where it is.
Oh well, getting old and can't resist passing on a choice memory.
