"an agony of Chiba's lot"
Lol! Most of my Senseis / senior Sempai are ex-students of Chiba Sensei (amongst others)... Ken Cottier (a student of Chiba Sensei... and also of O Sensei, for that matter) especially tells many humourous stories about him and his exploits... Hmm... might write a few down in a new thread...
Let's just say, from what I've heard (If have never yet had the fortune to practice with him. I think I'd be relatively safe, because I'm a kyu grade and he doesn't know me) then this is a fair representation of Chiba Sensei's teaching style
