With the gradings over it was high time for some fun and the Sen’s were only to happy to oblige! Richard San kicked off with the ‘new look’ monday night. Every Monday night will now be the first half partner work and the 2nd half Sword; which really went down well this week! The students found Sword just the perfect way to calm down after a very up-tempo Aikido session, even the beginners got stuck into both the sessions!

Tim Sans ‘9 square Zenkutsu Dachi’ puzzle was definitely the highlight of Wednesday night. Which it seems caused more problems than it solved!! More practice there says Tim San!

Speaking of practice, personal training has been the thrust of this week’s Facebook and Twitter posts. With a host of valuable information to assist you with your training outside the dojo. Check out this weeks Spotlight Blog for a full roundup of the posts so far.

Practice!

Practice!

It’s so important to keep up with your training at home as lessons are where you learn the magic, personal practice is where it becomes ‘your’ magic! As one of this weeks really thoughtful posts by Tim San said….

Remember the Martial Arts are centuries old and when you practice you are developing the art as much as those that invented it.”

Inspiration to practice indeed!  So see you in the dojo. 🙂
