Ouch...

I started training again. I've been out to Gaku Homma Sensei's school, Nippon-Kan. I trained in one of Homma Sensei's classes tonight. I am more sore than when I started tonight... um yeah, too much time away from the mat. I can tell you that the mat is much more forgiving than mikawa's mat... damned mat burns. Style wise, they put it like this:

If Aikido was a jo, on one end you would have mystical, fluffy, Ki society style and on the other Yoshinkan, Iwama, martial combat style. They are in the middle, with the ability to train either way. I do like the classical movements covered in Homma's class. A LOT of tenkan! damn my feet for not working the way they should...

I am going to train at Boulder Aikikai (Ikeda) on Friday. I'll deliver a report afterwards.


yeah, aiki-reports...
