	<body><![CDATA[I've been invovled with the Martial Arts since Mid July 2004.  I started with BJJ.  I took that for about a month.  That's all it took to get my elbow hyper-extended.  Which made me quit BJJ.

Before I quit BJJ I had taken a class or 2 in Aikido and Daitoryu Aikijujitsu (Damn that's a mouthfull).  I've been taking both since.  Although I have recently come to the decision to stop taking Daitoryu.  I tested in Daitoryu a few weeks ago and went to class on Sunday to find out if I had passed.  I did.  I also got a clear physical reminder of why I am quiting that class.  I now have a sore ankle, shoulder, and a bruised rib.  So I made rank, and I'm done with Daitoryu.  Thank god for Aikido.

I'm testing today in Aikido.  It's test number 2 or 3.  I was surprised with a test on Saturday, then when I had passed I was asked if I'd like to test with Roseberry Shihan today.  Of course I went with testing with Shihan.  I'll always take an opportunity to train with Roseberry Shihan.  Oh well, off to continue hydrating in preperation for the test!]]></body>
