A fantastic day at Muswell Hill for the course on Saturday. Huge thanks go to Sensei Greenley for putting on a course that was challenging and highly informative. We (the Wolverhampton club) also had a success with Mandip passing his green belt examination, he did really well and he should be proud.
I had a strange situation myself whilst practicing… Whilst doing an exercise that needed both hands raising above my head, my brain was telling me I had done so, my body however did something completely different, and thank you Sensei for pointing it out. I later caught myself doing it again!!! Brain exit left!! It is always amazing to me that, even having done many years of practice there is always more to learn and indeed in this case revisit due to not doing an exercise correctly. I am very grateful for this input to always improve my own practice and in turn myself.
Ki Aikido is a fascinating art with constant ammendment and improvement required, and this is what keeps me engaged and always looking to get better.
I would recommend giving it a try, it may surprise you, as it often does with me.
