Jamie – Belt Advancement

Congratulations to Jamie for achieving his Blue Belt In Ichikan Aikido. He had an excellent Demo and is right on track for where he should be with his development.

I want to take this opportunity to also say that I admire Jamies tenacity and willingness to return to practicing this Art after having to deal with injuries. That absolutely demonstrates a commitment to himself and the dojo.

Learning a Martial Art, especially in the way that I teach it, is a challenge. It requires delving deeper into oneself, taking ownership of their body in a different way, and exploring how they process what is occurring in any given moment of time. Jamie … thanks for taking on that challenge.

Again … from all of us … congratulations.
