Just wanted to post very briefly that I am back training at New York Aikikai

It’s exciting for me as I had (for personal reasons) left the Dojo back in 1999.

It’s been a fun first 3 days back seeing old friends and training again.  It will take me a few weeks to get back into the swing of things at the Dojo, as so much has changed (but also a lot is very familiar!).

Yamada Sensei has been very generous and kind to me over the years and that’s why I’ve always thought of going back and seeing him again (which I never did until this past December).  He told me to train hard and enjoy the training, as that’s really what is most important.

I hope to train hard, train well, and continue to grow at New York Aikikai, and am very happy to be learning from Sensei’s knowledge and experience once again. 

My Friday night training (Beginner’s Level) is still in progress, every Friday at 6:30pm at Moving Body Resources, I’ll post another update on that at a future time. 

In the mean time, my focus for 2009 and beyond is to train and progress at the Dojo.

Keep Moving Forward!
