Hi All,
Just a short introduction, my name is Randy and I've been practicing Aikido (Daito-Ryu Style) for about 4 months now and love it.

I've been dragging my feet for quite a while about starting when my brother (testing for Shodan soon) finally convinced me to start, and I've been kicking myself for not starting sooner.
For other beginners, I've found the book "Aikido and the Dynamic Sphere" by Westbrook and Ratti a very handy text and helped me through all the new terms, etc.
Chow for now.
