Less than 20 students were waiting for him to bow in. Noguchi Sensei did so promptly as is his custom. Then he announced we were doing Gikan Ryu kata.
I was surprised. In more than 30 years I have not been shown these from any teacher. In between kata, Noguchi Sensei showed me a tattered notebook with the kata handwritten in a numbered sequence. He told me these were his actual notes from more than 40 years ago when Hatsumi Sensei taught these only to him.
