Welcome to everyone taking part in this forum. I am looking forward to the possiblities in opening lines of communication and sharing of experience from all of us that have continued the practice of budo through all the times when it would have been much easier to quit.

Regards,

Hi everyone,

I have re-configured the Voices of Experience (http://www.aikiweb.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=57) forum so that any registered member can start a thread.

So, if you have thoughts, questions, or anything that you wish to have fielded by the Voices of Experience members, please feel welcome to start a new thread (http://www.aikiweb.com/forums/newthread.php?do=newthread&f=57).

Please note, though, that unless you've filled out this form (http://www.aikiweb.com/forums/experience.html) to certify that you have had over twenty years of active training specifically in aikido, you will not be able to respond to any of the threads.

Here's hoping for the best for this experimental forum!

....would I be able to ask further questions on the same thread or will I have to start a new thread?

[akiy]

Hi Ignatius,

I think that's a good idea. Any objections from anyone if I allow people to respond in a thread that they started?

Hi folks,

Since I didn't hear any objections, I have changed the permissions in the Voices of Experience forum to allow all registered AikiWeb members to start a thread and also be able to reply to their own thread.

Once again, as I wrote earlier up above:
