I know a little :-) Studied Kodokan Judo at the Kodokan. Rose to Nidan.
Favorite throw was Uchimata both sides. Lousy on the mat. I was fast as
hell in standing Randori an managed not to end up down there very often.
Sensi was Takihito Ishikawa.
Dabbled in Tai Chai Chuan and Kung Fu. Just enough to get me out of
street trouble growing up in inner city is all I wanted :-)
What impressed me about those skills is not the physical part but the
mental part and carrying them over to our everyday living part of this
being acutely what you sense or feel..
So, I try to carry the mental skills to my flying and be acutely aware
of my senses which based on yours and Roberts responses may be my
downfall :-)
I didn't mean to sound overly critical. It would be my wish that you
would possibly consider some residual reading on the extremely important
issue of physical sensation and IFR flight.
It's never too late to alter one's approach on something this critical.
Believe me, the best thing you'll ever do as a pilot is seek out and
actively encourage unmercifully truthful opinion on your performance.
I've been involved at times professionally and always as a friend with
the Air Force Thunderbirds and Navy Blue Angels for decades. I have many
friends who flew on various teams. I've sat in on their post flight
debriefs where they openly review each show. At these sessions the rank
comes off and nothing exists but what was right and what was wrong.
I've based my own aviation career on this same philosophy. I've sought
out and considered the opinions of my peers and discussed openly with
them what they have observed of my performance.
It's just too important for anything else. I learn every day. You will
as well. We're both better pilots for this.
