Re: internal skills progress?

Hi Hunter! Well, it has been sometime, don't know if it is a year since I met Dan...

Well, it was snowing, so maybe! I'm mostly using the postures Dan and Akuzawa show to the best I can, and doing the breathing exercises I half learned from Mike S., along with trying to bring what little I've learned into the yoshinkan basic movements. I've been told I've made some progress relative to aikidoka in general, but what I think I really need to do is go by a BJJ school and roll with some people in a non-cooperative environment to see how my body holds up in that scene.

Best,
Ron (eh, maybe this summer...life is kind of busy just now)
