Re: Your "big break" in Aikido

Hmm.. there are many little revelations, but I would say my most important moments are when I decided to train and when I met the man who would become my teacher (after having trained nearly 10 years).

For me, the first experience was about recognizing that I was intent on beginning a search. The second was meeting someone who, for the first time in my experience, embodied the principles and concepts in a way that I knew modeled my view of the art and could teach it to me.
