   Tonya.

   Tonya, how big are the children’s classes?
3. Tonya 12.1.08 / 9pm

   Pretty big. There’s about thirty or so. The place is crawling with them.

   You have kids doing iriminage? I think that is one of the hardest techniques to do. You are doing a pretty good job of training them if you got them doing iriminage.

   Do you enjoy teaching the kids? You seem like someone who would like working with kids. I am surprised you are calling them silly 😛

   She went to her blog
   to put up her post
   about things of the day
   she remembered the most.

   Two comments were weird;
   of course they would be.
   Twas to be expected
   from the commenting three.

   Why can’t they
   just comment like normal?
   Can there not be
   at least one post-session formal?

   Of COURSE not, silly!
   That’s how it works!
   But they truly mean well
   behind their silly quirks.

   I would not, could not, in a box.
   I could not, would not, with a fox.
   I will not read them from a mouse.
   I will not read them in a house.
   I will not read them here or there.
   I will not read them anywhere.
   I do not know what your rhymes mean!
   In plain English, please Christine!

   With apologies to Dr. Seuss

   I for one like a little presdidigitation.
   My tastes may not be main stream,
   But why should it cause such iritation,
   Just because she wants to make her message gleam?

   The one moon shines in every pool;
   In every pool, the one moon.

   And college graduates should know how to spell course.

    Something unusual has happened to the website…
11. grassHopper 12.7.08 / 2pm

    So you can snazzy up a website, but you can’t fold a hakama. 😆 😆 😆 😯

    I attacked, now ikkyo me or something.
12. Jerry 12.7.08 / 2pm

    Did you see all the new content? What do you think? Thanks!

    Nicely done, Jerry. The “start training today” link and page are excellent. I also like the quarterly discount option. We’ve come a long way since the days of sharing a dance studio with ballerinas. While many have helped along the way, you and Dee are the primary catalysts. Thanks.

    On Religion and Aikido:

    While Aikido has its roots in shintoism, it is now practiced worldwide by people of many religious faiths and beliefs. I am a Christian of the Episcopal variety and don’t find a conflict in the nature of Aikido and Christianity. I imagine and feel Ki in the same way I do the Holy Spirit. They are to me two descriptions of the same thing; a spirit by which and through which we “live and move and have our being.”

    AIkido from a Christian perspective offers a very unique and powerful means of accessing that spirit and being made better through it. As we practice, we are able to live in the spirit in a very full and immediate sense. In learning a martial art, we also become a dynamic protector of the faith, of the weak or helpless. I like that.

    The Do in Aikdio means our practice is a way of life, not an art, hobby, or sport. Through regular practice we become better on the inside as well as the outside.

    Peace be with you this Advent, and for the coming year!

    Very nice Buck. 🙂

    Hold that thought, perspectives from a Baptist coming. 😯
16. buck 12.13.08 / 8pm

    It’s been 2 weeks since we heard from Tonya on her blog. Is she still training? Is she still in New York?
17. grassHopper 12.15.08 / 12am

    Maybe the aliens took her. Or the kids.

    Jerry, I noticed you finally put Bruce on the “Instructors” page. Nice.
