Give it a shot if possible. It's a very dynamic art and I greatly enjoyed it.
Hey Paul, hope you are doing well. You probably don't remember, but you actually met Hayakawa when he was brought to Tucson in '04 as interpreter for Yamada Soke. There was a huge falling out, and he later made illegitimate claim to some inheritance of the art, which is totally refuted by just about all in the JSA community, especially Yamada Soke and McClafferty Hanshi.
I know this is an old thread, but had to throw my two pence in the pot!
