My nidan test, on 18 February, 2018. Age 55. I began training in May 2009, and tested for shodan (the previous rank) in December of 2014, a little over 3 years ago.
You can ready my nidan essay, "There's No Waiting," and learn more about Aikido, the martial art of harmony, and follow my blog sharing my experiences as a student at my blog: grabmywrist.co...
Aikido is a non-oppositional, non-competitive practice appropriate for all ages and athletic abilities.
Many thanks to my kind mentors, ukes, and training partners during exam prep: Karen (my mentor and primary uke), Scott, Cyril, Megan, Jay, Ran, Eric, Marco, Jake, Roger, Sean, Rosalind, Amy, and so many more dojo mates, and of course my teacher, Dave Goldberg Sensei.
You can find all of my exam videos here: grabmywrist.com.... Better yet, come see a class in person. Most dojos, including Aikido of San Diego, welcome observers. If you are thinking Aikido is something you might enjoy and benefit from, don't wait, find a dojo and start training!
