Hello to everybody,
My name's Mark Delgado from Denver, CO. I've been going through my "getting used to hakama" phase of aikido training the last 5 months or so. I think the hakama is the greatest, most simple, and most elegant instrument of aikido training O sensei produced.
To me the core of Aikido is learning- from our yudansha (thank you guys! You do an awesome job!), from each other, and from our inner selves. Nice to meet all of you, best of luck with training!
Gambarimasho!
MD
