I was at the original ESK in some sort of very beginners class. Interestingly, L was there also. I think it was supposed to be like our first day of classes, and we were going over how to do throws. I was partnered with two small children, which I assumed had to do with the fact that I had been in charge of the little kids classes when I taught ten years ago. I gently worked on showing them how to do throws, down on my knees so I would be the same height as them. Sensei Jimmy was surprisingly respectful of my ability, and later used me to do a kata example to show the kinds of things you would eventually learn.
