Greetings

After a long wait, I finally took action to start the practice in the ways to develop the spirit of union, as I like to understand it.

To me Aikido is a single choice in budo, the work to appease my internal wars reflecting it on the practice together with a partner.

For now my concerns are still quite mundane. What gi to buy. How many times a week to practice. How to deal with travel intervals and so on. But somehow, since I started I feel like I'm in some type of mental dojo, thus in constant practice. Do you have similar feelings?

I'll be glad to learn and share my experiences here with you all.
