Re: Race and Aikido

I couldn`t resist it.
Race in the dojo.
I am the only white guy in our yellow dojo, and I am embraced. I have to admit when I arrived I was concerned that race would be an issue, but I have been accepted with open arms and time has proved itself. Black, white yellow or green for that matter who cares. I have no comment on race in the dojo.We should really think about where the art that we love so much derived from, we should embrace race.Any shape or form. But in saying that no, we have no blacks here in our dojo, but we have only asian aside from myself. Some of my best friends are south african, my wife Japanese, my uncle Indian, race has never been an issue for me. We all live in the same world, and really it aint that large!
