Rolf,

I like what you said here. Like you, I am re-starting my aikido training after an 8 year absence. Actually, I used to train with Lynn Seiser when he lived in southern California. You could say he helped to bring my character out through training. Another great quote of his is that

...we don't rise to the level of our expectations, we fall to the level of our training...

Good stuff.
