Brown belt? Not likely. (Also: My August Plans!)

Jul 14, 2006 01:25

Know when you're intellectually confident of something and yet you are filled with emotional dread every time you have to get out there and do it? This is what is happening in Aikido. Next weekend, Chida-sensei is running a seminar in Mississauga that I'm attending with my sensei, and we're trying to get me to brown belt ability level before then ( Read more... )

aikido, travel

if you either get a paid account, or use livejournal's "sponsored+" membership level, i think you get access to "scrapbook" which is livejournal's photo service. it works pretty well. i'd recommend that.

Wait, what can you do in isolation? Aikido moves like countering and stuff? Or, I don't know, somersaults? I can imagine doing counters would be pretty easy if it were just you, but I totally get not being able to do acrobatic stuff when you have an audience.

Whoa, that will be a lot of fun... and warm. Send me a postcard of you getting attacked by some mobster in Sicily if you can. My address for the summer is: 408 W. Pedregosa St, Unit E, Santa Barbara, CA 93101

If you can't use LJ's Scrapbook thingie, you can always use Flickr or something like that.

Interesting fact: Apparently Dante's sister is in Santa Barbara for the summer

That's so random. I must ask Dante why.
