Greetings all,

Just wanted to take a few minutes to introduce myself. My Name is Jason and I live in Northern Virginia. I have been envolved with aikido for 1 week now and I am enjoying it....it's just my shoulders that don't, but I'm sure that will change with a bit more practice. Outside of Aikido, I am an aspiring chef, a drummer in a touring heavy metal band and I like to dabble in Photography as well. After keeping an eye on the site for the last few weeks, it looks like there are a lot of really nice people that frequent the site and I look forward to interacting with you all, trying to learn what I don't know and passing on what I do know to others. Take care and be safe! I'll look forward to learning from all who visit the site.

Hello Jason,

The mild shoulder injuries are typical when you're learning how to roll properly.
This will pass in no time.

Hi Jason-

Welcome to the website and to aikido!

Where in Northern Virginia are you from? I lived in Burke for 9 years. I went to St.Stephen's & St.Agnes School in Alexandria from 2nd-10th grade. I live in Chicago now, but I still miss Virginia sooo much.

I live in the Woodbridge/Dumfies area. I can see why would miss it. I have been here for 8 years and love it!
