Endless Summer

I’d currently train in Aikido, Judo/Jujutsu,Karate and maybe krav maga. (but they don’t offer most of those anywhere in my country) And just train everyday for the rest of my life. An early morning session, evening session.

Work/Study during the day, play music in the free moments. Maybe go catch waves every now and then.

But if i could do nothing but train, i’d be highly content.

Mi Madre disapproves of violence, and my enthusiasm for martial arts, but it’s one of the few things i’ve been completely comfortable & happy doing.

I’ve never been a team sport player, 1 because those sports were always super competitive, and idk if i’d want to do those competitive, but martial arts, i don’t care about competing/ just sparring, once i’m in martial arts mode, i’m happy.

That being said; we’ll see how the rest of this week goes.

Be grateful even for hardship, setbacks, and bad people. Dealing with such obstacles is an essential part of training in the Art of Peace.

Toodaay.

Aikido training.

Today was a simple straight forward day

dealing with; Shomen-uchi & Yokomen-uchi , while waiting until the last minute to react, so uke is fully commited to the technique. We talked a bit and made the point that if nage reacts too early then uke, instinctively, slows down his attack. Its just normal human nature, if your going to attack, and you see your target getting ready to react, you naturally slow down you’re attack and start making alternate plans.

Yokomen-uchi Kote Gaeshi

(Have a problem of not cutting down enough while i tenshin, and getting my hands a bit mixed. Planning to master this and tsuki kote gaeshi by june, as well as yokomen-uchi kokyu-nage)

Ryote-tori Koshi-nage
