Learn Aikido

I’ve marked as done now, as I’m well over 6 months in and not going to be stopping anytime soon… nobody can ever finish learning about something like Aikido and I’ve lots to learn still :)

1st grading in summer

I’ve had two sessions so far and I’m finding it all very difficult. I’m not particularly body aware, and am finding turns frustrating. With practice, I’m sure that it will come.

Overall I am enjoying Aikido and think that it will compliment my running.

I’ve wanted to learn a martial art for quite a few years now, but was never sure what I wanted to do, and aggresion isn’t really my thing… Also not being particularly good with meeting new people, and with noone to go with, I’ve never done anything about it.

Anyway, someone Jen knows is starting an Aikido Dojo, and as its all very new, now seems the time to join. I can meet new people slowly, instead of in one go. Also Aikido appears to fit with the type of person I am.
