I looked at Sabaki Challenge (http://www.sabaki.com) and it had the results from last year. I was surprised that the brackets were not very big, only 6-10 people in each weight category. That has to be considerably down from the glory years of the Sabaki Challenge.

Yes, that's how it was . I've been in Denver for seven years now and every year they have less fighters. But I'm not surprised after meeting Kancho Ninomiya.
I wish them good luck this year.

Is Kancho Ninomiya a very intense and strict teacher?

He is very traditional and yes, intense. Also he likes to stay closed and isolated in relation with other knock-down dojos in US.
To bad, now when we all need to be cooperating more then ever .
