The journey begins with the first step
Hello everyone. I am new to this post and thought I would introduce myself. I have been training in the Jiyushinkai under sensei Jim Hanna. I enjoy aikido I find it to be a very spiritual art much more so than the Karate I have taken in the past. I will admit that at times it has been a difficult road to walk, the art of effecting uke's center,creating an off ballance, and listening to uke by touch are at times difficult at best. Yet I have faith and determination! A journey of a thousand miles starts with the first step.

Re: The journey begins with the first step
Paul, I would have to say this is an accurate depiction of me being caught by sensei Hanna's sumi otoshi last night.

Re: The journey begins with the first step
Jun thanks, sensei Hanna is great teacher. I find him to be an inspiration, I am about a foot taller and 80 lbs heavier. Yes I believe size and strength do not play a part in aikido.
