Don't beat yourself up. I think it was merely your enthusiasm. There are more people out there like you
Thanks for the insight, from your perspective, on IT within your dojo. It's an interesting idea. I do wonder how this will turn out in the long run for the ones who only take the aikido classes. Will they see a gap occur, body skill wise, with their fellow trainees who do take part in the IT classes? How will they cope with that? Exciting times, I think, but then I'm already beyond saving....
Take care.
