In two weeks, on May 17th, I will be doing my shodan (first degree black belt) demonstration in
Fugakukai Aikido. There's not a whole lot of sitting space, but if someone wanted to attend, you are welcome to get in touch with me on when and where.
I'm pretty damn excited about it, even though while on the mat last night I messed up on two out of every three techniques. And I'm supposed to just be putting the polish on it!
