タコが好きだ。前に住んでいた泉州地方はタコで有名で、梅雨の時期からタコが釣れ始め、日に日に大きくなるのを目にできる。タコは美味しい。うまみがぎゅっとつまった身をいつまでも噛んでいられる幸せはなんとも言い難い。そしてタコは賢いらしい。知能レベルが高いらしく、ワールドカップやオリンピックの年にはその能力にあやかろうとタコを使った占いがテレビで流れるくらいだ。結果的にたこ焼きも好きだ。関西にいった１８歳のとき、近所に個性豊かなたこ焼き屋さんが多いことに興奮を覚えたのを覚えている。タコが好きだ、という話だ。

稽古はコミュニケーションだ。稽古に来られている方のレベルに合わせた指導が必要だ。あまり喋りすぎても、模範を示しすぎてもダメだと思う。自分の稽古を動画で見返すと、やはり説明が多すぎたり、少なすぎたり、模範がだらしなかったり、とまだまだ未熟な点が多いと気付かされる。そして、西条と江田島でも全く違う指導が必要になると思う。指導されている師範の凄さがわかる。
I like octopus. The Senshu region where I used to live is famous for octopus, and from the rainy season, octopus begins to be caught, growing bigger day by day. Octopus is delicious. The happiness of chewing on its tightly packed, flavorful flesh is hard to put into words. Also, apparently, octopuses are intelligent. They seem to have a high level of intelligence, so much so that during World Cup and Olympic years, TV broadcasts feature predictions using octopuses to try to tap into that ability. As a result, I also like takoyaki. I remember feeling excited when I was 18 and went to Kansai, where there are many uniquely characterized takoyaki shops in the neighborhood. It’s a story about how I like octopus.

Training is about communication. It’s necessary to give guidance tailored to the level of each participant. I think it’s not good to talk too much or to overly show demonstrations. When I review my own practice on video, I realize I often explain too much or too little, and my demonstration is sometimes sloppy—there are still many immature aspects. Also, I believe completely different guidance is necessary in Saijo and Etajima. I can truly appreciate the skill of the instructors.
