Just checking in: This weeks lesson went really well. My Sensei seems to be targeting me a lot in practice, but in a good way, like he knows I can improve. He keeps giving me pointers. I'm pretty excited about it. Oh, and his Sensei was Abe sensei, if you google him, you will find that he...

After my 5th leswson, tonight I got my Ghi. I have been told by my Sensei I improved heaps tonight. Whats more is that I discussed his former website with him after the lesson and offered to design him a new one. He was pretty excited about that. So it looks like I'm the webmaster of the new...

Well, I just had my 3rd lesson and after learning some more moves, including the infamous Steven Seagal style finger lock, I am hooked for life. It's good enough that I feel invigourated and cheerful after a lesson (Because of the physical nature) but the people there are incredibly helpful...

I think I'll practise some spiral breathing tonight. I shall meditate a bit, as it will not be hard after the beer I have drunk already. And I will go over some moves with an imaginary partner... Hey, I'll do what it takes, even if I DO look like an idiot in my own home. ;) I...

Just came home from my second Aikido session. I still love it. It's hard. Everything has to be spot on or you fail the technique or leave yourself open to an attack. I have improved a little and my footwork needs a little work. With a lot of things, it seems my instinct with footwork is the...

I have just arrived home from my first Aikido session. Takemusu Aikido, to be exact. I loved it. It's challenging, but I have gotten a lot out of it. We learned specific rolls, and a few basic moves, along with some fighting with sticks, called johs (sp?) I'll be going next week, definitely...

That's no good. But we all learn from our mistakes. Well, most of us anyway. good luck. :D

If you ever see it. ;) You might hate it. :-o

Well, I've had a little beer, Now I'm drinking wine. I'm such a gentleman. I wish. Actually, I purchased a Royal Australian Navy jacket yesterday, and when I put it on along with slacks, I look like Casey Ryback, only dressed in black instead of white. I love it.

Well let's go. What's that you say? Damn I'm fast? Just like Seagal. ;)

Come to think of it, I think I'll wait a bit to get these. I'll make a proper topic for it soon. I'll make sure I get the best pics I can.
