I must really like aikido

That sounds like quite the day!

[ironphoenix]

It was... someday, I hope to be up to going to one of the multi-day aikido summer camps, where one does this for 5 or so days. I'll have to get more efficient and/or fit though!

[dagibbs]

Yeah, a 5-day would be a real work-out. I've not done it for a martial art -- but sometimes for other activities I've gone from a fairly light exposure to really intense, and not always (or even usually) with an appropriate amount of prep.

That sounds to be both challenging to the body and quite rewarding. Were you testing at that particular seminar or was the a lower stress event?

[ironphoenix]

Just attending, and watching others test. I still have my ikkyu to do here before testing at that or another seminar for shodan.

Sounds like an excellent good time, WIN. :)
Glad you had a chance to participate + enjoy.
Hope you recovered okay.

Thanks! I'm up to practicing tonight... really, I could have gone yesterday without any issues, but I had other plans.

[writer_gal_007]

That's not bad recovery time (I'm still recovering from Saturday night's dancing- but then again, I pushed myself a little too hard).

Good stuff. Glad you're back on your feet quick- and I hope you enjoy the practice tonight! :)

[ironphoenix]

Not bad, but not yet where I want it to be before I do one of the week-long camps!
