Hiroshi Tada Sensei (9th dan) is in town, and I went to the Aikido stage. 4h yesterday, and 3h today – from 9:00 to 12:00. Those who know me can imagine how I felt.

I started about two years ago at the Ikeda Dojo shortly after he fell sick. His students took over and are still running it. ¹ One of his students founded a new dojo which is part of the Budokan near to my place. ² His name is Paul Michellod, and I like it very much. Only three students of the old dojo stayed with him, but we’re slowly finding new members. I like the atmosphere of a small dojo very much. Due to some irrational aversion against taking tests I am still without a single kyu. ;)
