Hello Aikiweb dwellers!
I'm Hector Yusel and I've been a visitor of this site for quite a while (though I've not done much posting here.) I mostly browse the columns and the occasional forum thread that catches my eye.
I've been training Aikido for around 8 years here in México (though I did once get a chance to visit Baltimore Aikido from ASU. Nice people and awesome dojo!) And also lately acquiring a bit of instructor responsibilities.
I wanted to bring to your attention our campaign (my fiancée and I) to help us with our trip to Takasaki and the 12th IAF Congress. We're doing a
crowdfunding campaign on IndieGoGo.
The short version (you can find the
really long one in the link) is that we need a bit of help to make the trip expenses a bit more bearable for us. The good news is that, while helping us, you may get something in return that we hope you like (along with our eternal gratitude.)
Please give it a check, and even just sharing it around with your friends and dojo groups is greatly appreciated. If anyone from here is also going, we hope to see you there!
