• I think I was getting the wrong hand for the whole time...
  
  

What a nice surprise that Roland showed :) It started as a class of 5, but people kept showing up one after another and became the one of 8. I found that the rhythm of the class was a bit faster than usual, also the way Roland picked up and taught along with Stumpy was amazingly natural. I love to see the way these 2 teachers respect each other and always enjoy being on the mat with respect.

Recently, I often look back how I started training only with these Saturday classes even without Dogi for a long time...I remember enjoying the time on the mat trying very hard since I did not go through beginner's course and did not know anything about Aikido... I want to thank everyone who worked with patience. I cant deny that I sometimes face various kinds of frustration during training. Yet, to accept all kinds of situation must be one of the path to Aikido...
