Re: First Aikido Memory

Hi folks,

So, what is your first memory of your aikido training?

How does thinking about this memory make you feel now?

-- Jun
hmmmm.....

My first memory of aikido training revolves around major confusion. Even though everyone was very nice to me, and even though I knew I was a beginner, I felt very much like a child. Everything was new. Everything I thought I knew was not applicable (read=wrong), and I need to relearn alot of things.

Thinking about this memory now... I think about that memory all the time. I use that memory to remind myself to empty my cup every day before training.
