We then worked on the following tanto-tori techniques:

The class ended with kokyu-ho exercise.

The photo is from yesterday's fishing trip on the Gunnison River, right outside the inlet to Blue Mesa Reservoir. I didn't catch any fish; however I am very conscious that we won't be having very many more late autumn days as beautiful as Saturday was here in Gunnison.
