Morihei Ueshiba founded the martial art of Aikido in 1942. It's most famous these days for being Steven Segal's method of choice; but it also has a unique approach and philosophy. At least one of our team members has some Aikido skills, and can vouch for its effectiveness.
O Sensei (common term of address for Ueshiba among aikidoka) said:
"Progress comes
To those who
Train and train;
Reliance on secret techniques
Will get you nowhere."
Here are some quick tips for adding simple Textile formatting to your comments, though you can also use proper HTML tags:
*This* puts text in bold.
_This_ puts text in italics.
bq. This "bq." at the beginning of a paragraph, flush with the left hand side and with a space after it, is the code to indent one paragraph of text as a block quote.
To add a live URL, "Text to display":http://windsofchange.net/ (no spaces between) will show up as Text to display. Always use this for links - otherwise you will screw up the columns on our main blog page.
My first ballet instructor always said, "The good pain, the beneficial pain, if it doesn't hurt you are not doing it right. " ;)
I think I'm going to begin lessons in Aikido at a local dojo next month.

Olim Sufism-mastro Nasreddin-hodjo voyajis e vizitis Zen-mastro Rinzai en
Chinia e rakontis yene .. por sondar la profundeso dil famoza Zen-mastro.
Nasreddin-hodjo questionis Rinzai pri ca citajo da Sro Joe KATZMAN.
Oo-Sensei di Aikido olim dicis ke ...
Progreso venas a ti qui exercas e ne cesas exercar;
Fido a tekniki magial portas la lernanti ad'nulaloke.
Rinzai respondis ...
Se vu esforcas serchar vua Deo extere de vu ipsa,
Vu ganas nur omna tipi de superstico en la mondo.
Se vu esforcas serchar vua Deo interne en vu ipsa,
Ad'minime vu povas evitar omna tipi de superstico.
Pro ke nur lontane de superstico vivas la vera Deo.
Adio! ......sincere via, vua ed anke tua
B.Y.T. .....Idisto ed Idiotisto pro mea nur limitizita e povra edukado
ed anke ....Ido-Kavaliero per bona oreli vice mea skarsa e povra cerebro

Toyre kumt nit b'yerushe. Onu ne heredas la lernado. (Mea Yida proverbo)
Wem nicht zu raten ist, dem ist auch nicht zu helfen. (Germana proverbo)
Onu ne povas instruktar ti' qui nek pregas nek deziras docajo de'extere.
I have been practicing Aikido since 1998 and each day I find it very useful for my everyday life. It integrates body, mind, and life into one unity.
It is a way to keep and develop mind and body altogether.
