I understand enough to teach lower Kyu ranks how some VERY BASIC techniques should look. :rolleyes:

Putting Toui Shou into practice in conjunction with aikido techniques and have them work awesomely.

Re: Latest Accomplishment?
Hmmm hard to choose between:
1. "graduating" my six middle-aged non-martial-arts students with rudimentary rolling/falling skills 2. finally after much repetition and oodles of frustration (mine AND I'm sure my partner's and instructor's...) getting past ingrained "muscle memory" to stop doing a specific long-habitual blend in response to a specific attack and instead do what my instructor wanted me to do. |
Re: Latest Accomplishment?
-not getting frustrated if I fail and changing my mindset that failure is a good thing and a requirement to succeed

Re: Latest Accomplishment?
Some training partners that used to correct me a lot, are giving me a thumbs up more regularly in recent months. I noticed this trend simultaneously in both dojo's where I train (different aikido styles)
I consider this to be an accomplishment! |

I was quite happy with my progress in performing seated kokyu-ho the other day.

I was able to attend the 40th anniversary seminar at Oberlin College (Ohio) this spring. This required a massive life and career chage in order to even begin to be able to afford the trip. A year ago it would have been impossible. Add to this the fact that I was able to train in every class of every day and only had to sit out for a small portion of several ,despite significant knee pain. :)

Personally, not truly "aikido" I don't suppose, but have been working on Popkin's abdominal "gut ball" stuff and it's doing some neat-o things for close encounters, meaning, tight spaces with no real room to move. Fun stuff! |
Re: Latest Accomplishment?
I took a front roll the other night.
Maybe tonight I'll take two. |
Re: Latest Accomplishment?
Onegaishimasu, I consider it an accomplishment just to keep going day by day nearly 30 years.

Re: Latest Accomplishment?
Last weekend I refereed a London Inner-city school competition. Normally I stay well clear of kids and kids classes - just don't like doing it.
I managed to have fun doing it. My voice survived. Learnt that maybe kids are not so bad after all. There was some half decent aikido being done. |
