Workshop Photo

Here is a photo from the Aikido workshop last weekend with Yuki Hara Sensei:




















The workshop was great fun. I only made it to two out of the three classes, I was just too sore to make it to the second one. The first night, we worked on basically one technique (With small variations) for an hour and a half.

Since I haven't gone to class yet this week, I'm going to go tomorrow. I don't usually go on thursdays, but this will be the last week I'm likely to be able to go until September. Between my workshop next week, and traveling for work I won't have time. I'm going to try and go to the Aikido Shobukan Dojo while I'm in Virginia. It is the home dojo of Saotome Sensei, who studied with the founder of Aikido. I'm not likely to get to train with him, since he travels a lot but it will be interesting to traing in a large dojo. Aikido encourages training with different instructors periodically. Besides, it is something to do in the evening while I'm there.

I like to imagine that in the picture you're offering to help her up... but maybe that's just me :)
