Hello from Philly!

[Jennifer Yabut]

Hi everyone, my name is Jennifer. I started training in Aikido last June. I've also been training in Yagyu Shinkage Ryu (a Japanese sword art) for a little over two years.

I just passed my 4th kyu test on New Year's Eve, and feel like I'm starting to get a hang of certain techniques, but I'm still very much a rank beginner.

Looking forward to continuing my training, and getting to know everyone here. :)

Hello and welcome from North Wales! Please give Manogue Sensei and Smith Sensei my regards.

Best,
Ron

[Jennifer Yabut]

Thanks for the welcome, guys. :)

Ron, you know both of my senseis personally? Just wondering if we've crossed paths before...

[Ron Tisdale]

Yes, I've met both and trained a little with both. I find them to be excellent practitioners and teachers, and they have my utmost respect.

They probably think I'm a bit of a boob though... ;) I haven't been downtown in about 2 years, so if you've joined in that time frame, we probably haven't met. But please pass my regards to them, and to Karen V.W. as well.

Best,
Ron

Greetings from Royersford! Go Eagles! :D

[Jennifer Yabut]

Will do, Ron. I'm sure Karen would love to hear from you. :)

I rejoined the Yagyu group in November 2004 (I first joined in 1996), so I don't think we've crossed paths...

And...GO EAGLES!! :D
