Back to the beginning

We have moved back to Lawrence, KS
This is where I stated in Aikido over 20 years ago.
I will continue teaching in Lenexa on Fridays at Welcome Mat Dojo . I am amazed at how many things have changed and yet , feels very familiar and comfortable. See you on the mat !!!

My Story

It's not what happens to you that's important , it's what you choose to believe about 'what that happening is.' 

Your your choices shape your reality and the story is who you become.  If you truly wish to live by your own measure then you have to change the narrative. Your thoughts and words are a result of the meanings you have been programmed to believe. In aikido we talk about how the mind leads the body, I am beginning to believe that the mind creates the body. Our thoughts can change our very DNA and sequence the traits we physically become.

Rainy Tuesday in Oz !!!

I'm drinking an organic Sumatra with Guatemala and Ethiopian beans what's in your cup?  Today is raining and somewhat cold here in Kansas and the search for new dojo continues. I have a few places in mind and I am negotiating for the best deal and location  Classes will continue regardless and I will keep you posted.
See you on the mat

Basic Self Defense

Possible defense with cane or walking stick.
These are only possible outcomes and I recommend you find a qualified teacher.
I post these only as entertainment and as possible techniques, I improvised these as a spontaneous response to a attack. I don't teach cane defense but the principles of aikido can be applied across may weapons or systems of defense.
