Re: not underestimated : (

Everyone has strengths and weaknesses. One woman was very physically gifted but could not focus on the repetition and challenges that would make her strong, She left after 1st dan. Another woman is not so physically gifted but has stick-to-it-ness.... she is still here after many long years ......Who is better???..I guess it depends on who is judging.

Aikido is hard...if you stay around and keep training you will get better. Part of the process is accepting yourself and all your strengths and weaknesses.
