Aikido Test

Maui Aikido October Test

Neil and I are both training in Ki-Aikido in the Maui Shunshinkan Dojo. I had my first test last week and Neil had his second test. Chris Barense took some great photos I thought I would share with you.

We got promoted to blue belts. Neil was promoted to purple belt.

If you would like to know more about Aikido, you can look at the Maui Ki-Aikido site.
If you want to see more pictures of Aikido, you can check out others of the Maui October Test, or the World Cup 2000 in Japan.
