Newsletter News!

The newsletter is in the shop, getting its underlying platform switched out.

If you already subscribed, thank you! You'll still be subscribed under the new system.

This should let me provide more useful and more frequent newsletters.

MY VISION

It is my intention that Grab My Wrist be a resource for the entire Aikido community — especially new students, and new teachers.

I hope you will find the information here helpful and encouraging. I hope you will enjoy your Aikido practice, and will continue to train and teach.

When we continue our practice we personally benefit, our dojos benefit, and the whole community benefits. In the true spirit of Aikido, we all win.

GANBATTE KUDASAI!

Ganbatte kudasai is a popular Japanese expression of encouragement. It means "please do your best." Ganbatte alone is like saying "Get it!" "Try hard!" or "Go you!" Kudasai, or "please," makes it more formal or polite, softening the harsh effect of ordering someone to do well.

COME TRAIN…

I train at Aikido of San Diego, under Dave Goldberg Sensei, 6th Dan. I teach a Focus on Fundamentals class for students of all levels on Tuesday evenings.

If you’re in the San Diego area and thinking of starting training (or returning), we’d love to meet you. Observers, visitors, and new members are always welcome. Aikido of San Diego is a well-established dojo, with experienced instructors and friendly, vibrant, and inclusive community of dojo members.

Also be sure to check out my page Aikido Dojos in San Diego County. If you’re not in the San Diego area just search for “Aikido near me.” Aikido is practiced worldwide; there’s sure to be a dojo in your area.
