I was so pumped and excited to receive this original calligraphy work from our grandmaster tonight, at our year-end party. HINT: it was indeed the sentence ‘ichi go ichi-e’ that I came up with a few weeks ago. We had a great time during this last practice of the year, and yes, it feels good rolling with a hakama.

During the party, I talked with a few sempai and my instructor about my mae-ukemi issue, which is clearly my major problem right now. My instructor told my sempai that in a situation like this, where someone struggles on and on, it’s not this person’s problem, but everyone’s. It’s everybody’s job to make it work and fix it. If I keep failing at it, it’s because they’re not teaching me well enough.

I felt a bit overwhelmed and tried to argue (in my broken Japanese) that it cannot be only *their* fault. It’s 50/50. In my case, 90% of the problem comes from a deep set fear of dying that’s rooted in my reptilian brain and blocks me from tucking my head properly. They can show me, teach me, again and again: only when I’ll get over this will my body start relaxing and stop doing all those little things that send me sideway or turn me into a pancake.

But yeah, I was amazed by this idea that it’s a group effort to help and support each member. And that I shouldn’t feel embarrassed or ashamed by my struggles.

Did I already tell you how much I love my dojo and everyone there?

Oh and yep, from now on, they’re going to become much much harder with me. No more slack allowed!

Working on using the #sistretcher @Si-Stretcher to develop a balanced high #sidekick . I don’t recommend this drill unless you are also an accomplished faller or #aikidoka or #judoka ... the sistretcher is now available on Amazon.com link is in my bio. Get yours while supplies last :). @kickpicsllc #noflipsnotricksjustmartialartskicks #keepkickingalive #gotkickpics #kickpicsllc #ninja #sidekick #kick #kicking #kicks #kicker #martialart #splits #sparring #facekick #headkick #martialarts #ninjatize #fighting #kick #kicks #kicking #highkick #kicklife #kickstagram #selfsefense #kickvids #kickpics #dailykick #kickz #kickeverywhere #kickeverything #martialarts #taekwondo #highkick #kicklife (at Northampton Martial Arts)

A video (link here) of an Aikidoka showing his techniques against attacks with actual intent. He talks about how demonstration are often done so that everything flows and there is no resistance, but actual confrontations get messy. The video gives a nice slow-motion shot of every time the he gets hit in the head.
