Extensive training schools...where are they?!

Hello there to all and sundry taking the time to read,

Have just registered as a user and am looking to pick the brains of all you experienced or knowledgeable patrons.

Here follows my problem: 3rd year student who has been studying the spiritual side of aikido through numerous readings and such but hasn't been able to make the headway I'd have hoped for in the practical side due to other commitments, work, girlfriend etc etc.

Having not taken a year out before heading to university I am keen to spend next year abroad and cutting through the babble I'm looking for information on training schools/ dojos who run extensive courses.

Any information rendered would be greatly appreciated so please don't hold back with the info!

Hope everyone had a tremendous new year and best wishes for 2004.

hi, cutting through the babble; i would hope any shcool of aikido that you could attend regularly would aid in your knowledge base and serve to further and focus on your physical development. good luck.

Hope - Just another four letter word like "wish" and "pray."

Perhaps you should define "abroad" more precisely to pursue your project successfully?
