It was great as always, but made even better with Howard teaching as well. It was great working through some sequences where you could start with some of Dan's solo exercises, move on to daito ryu waza, then also see the exact same stuff "lurking" in traditional aikido waza. How the external appearance gave hints as to what should have been going on underneath in rather concrete terms. Been a good number of times now with Dan (so at least I understand what he's talking about rather than just standing there looking puzzled) but first time with Howard. Like Gary I'd recommend it to anyone.
It was also great to see new faces. And faces from some names here too. And I only got hit a few times...
