My first Aikido lesson at Aikido Jinsei Dojo

[galaxym76]

Edit 2009-06-30: I trained in a pair of sweat pants, not jeans.

Oh neg I she moss?  (Onegai shimasu?  The u at the end is nearly silent.)

I arrive at the dojo about seven minutes late.  I sheepishly open the door, hoping that class is not yet in session.  It is not.  I had already changed to my training clothes before arriving, a pair of jeans sweat

No Pain, No Gain

I think that you will come to find that this experience is going to do a lot for you in many many ways. I love you very much and I hope that you will stick with this.

I must admit that I think we need to purchase some type of balm for your muscles--such as Tiger balm--so that we can loosen up your muscles on the nights when you don't have lessons and on the nights you do so that you can continue to motivate.

I think you will be proud of the things that this will do for you.

Love you.

Won't Vicks do the same? You know how I love multipurpose goods.

Regarding sticking with it, my plate is going to be very full this fall. I fear that I won't be able to handle the workload. Exercise is vital to my health, so I don't think I can ditch Aikido. I think pre-studying chemistry this summer is necessary for my success.

Yay! More friends.

Ninja? LOL! A *fat*, *sore* ninja in training, perhaps. (I'm not sure Aikido is much of an assassin's skill, though.)

Be ye a pirate or sea farin' mate? (This is a reference to the very silly pirates versus ninjas debate.)
