Re: Aikido, School and staying fit

about a year ago I began grad school and also conitnued to work full time. I only trained during breaks from school. It was incredibly difficult not to train. This past summer I was looking forward to getting back in the dojo and ended up wrecking my knee. Unfortunately because of my injury and a recent surgery no Aikido until next December. I have choosen to put the physical partof training on hold and just focus on school and rehab. I spoke with my sensei about all of this. I view Aikido as a life long learning. In place I have been trying to focus more on the spiritual practice and ki energy. I would like to do more reading but with classes, homework, job etc....it rarely happens. For me it was important to make that comittment to return after I finish schooling and when my doctor releases me from my injury. Good Luck.
