Thank you Jun
Round about Thanksgiving time for my yank friends I think, so thought I'd start a thread expressing gratitude to the webmaster unsung hero of Aiki Web Mr Jun Akiyama.
Appreciate all hard work, fair regulation, minimal censorship, openness and lack of ego shown.
Thanks Jun!!!!
Please add thanks if also appreciative of this great community.

Re: Thank you Jun
- ahhhhhh
If this is reference to those lovely silent ukemi videos agree. Seems to be catching on that by the way in several countries - good example of evolution in aikido. Learnt a way to take a smooth roll form koshi nage here that I'll be stealing and taking back to the UK :-)

And an expensive one, I'm sure, Jun. I know you know I haven't made a contribution yet, but I'm going to soon and I want to encourage everyone who reads this to remember to thank Jun in a way he can really use!
Best to you, Jun.
Best to all and Happy Thanksgiving!

Re: Thank you Jun
I also value that Jun doesn't try to force people to pay but leaves it there as an offer (when I get a proper job back home promise will have little golden star by name :-)
Folks - Please don't let this thread fade from view - will loose last of faith in humanity...contributing membership some people can't afford, a thank you everyone can.

Re: Thank you Jun
What a great idea for a Thanksgiving thread.
Jun, thanks for making the forum available even for non-aikidoka. There are shared training experiences, free-ranging discussion, good humor and interesting insights into human nature, open to all for perusal. This forum is a nice place to bring a cup of tea and browse for a few minutes.
Domo arigato.

Re: Thank you Jun
Thank you for this place. Aikiweb is a beautiful thing. And is is a grate way to pass time during a boring class as well.
P.S Thanks for not throwing me off because my screen reader and spell check don't get along. or maybe i'm not smart enough to make it work yet.
anyway thank you vary much

Re: Thank you Jun
I'd like to add my name to the list of appreciative forum users, thanks Jun!
perhaps the best way to show appreciation is to (if you can) get that gold star by your name, it's very little to give for a great deal in return.
regards,
Mark

Re: Thank you Jun
Thanks Jun!
I've really appreciated all the ways I've benefited from Aikiweb and it's members.
I've gotten an incredible amount of technical advice and guidance, some serious mental advice and a connection to Aikido even though I don't train anymore.
One of the things I've really appreciated is that all I've needed was a stamp and a money order and you've accepted what I could send over my couple membership periods.
Very cool. Very easy.
