Aikido Journal: Avoiding injuries article from 1994

This is a sobering reminder of the need for being constantly alert and training safely.

Tuesday training is moved to Monday, July 2nd

Roberto Sensei will be back in town this weekend through the 4th, he has time to teach one class while he is in town. The general consensus was that Monday night at our usual class time of 7:30 - 9:00 would work best for everyone. I checked with the studio and the building should be free for us to use that night. Hope to see everyone there.

This is an interesting blog article on slow movement and learning that I found interesting and applicable to the practice of Aikido:

Why to Practice Slow Movement

The training over the weekend in Jackson Hole was great.  Thanks to Bill Plank Sensei and Scott for having us.

For those who are new to Aikido in the dojo, here is a video of O Sensei from Aikido Journal if you're interested.
