Congratulations Penny Sensei

Something I first experienced from Sagano Sensei

I got a call from one of our instructors who was taking a class the other day.

his is not about what happened from March to June but what has happened in the 365 days after when we re-opened one year later.

not just between people but also between you and the world around, especially the earth.

I re-hurt my shoulder. One of many old gymnastics’ injuries. I flew off the high bar.

Exercise, Is It Good for You?

ever wondered why we wear our gi belts on our waists

5 lbs. of clementines and 4 lbs. of bananas

“Alone we can do so little, together, we can a do so much.”

Warriors, come out to Play-ee-yay!!

I never finish anything. I have a black belt in Partial Arts.

What's love got to do, got to do with it? What's love but a secondhand emotion?

To Ki or Not to Ki

This week is a different letter. I did not write it other than this introduction I gave the mat over to the Women of ASNJ to celebrate...

Mistakes are the portals of discovery.

Silence is the source of great strength.

If you think you are good at Aikido, you are missing the focus of the practice. It should be ‘How is Aikido good for you?'

What is your Aikido? How does it reflect who you are?

Meditation is like a gym in which you develop the powerful mental muscles of calm and insight.
