I guess you can all agree that we all have that moment. I can still remember vividly when I am sitting under a Langka Tree in the old house of my Lolo Panyong or above the Guava tree of my Lolo Dorico's house, I can say that I am a full dreamer because I always have a day dream that I want to be like this... I want to try this... I will be like that .... someday I can be .... I can do it!
After 30 years, one of my dream was fulfilled and that is to join a martial art for a self defense. At first, I am confused on what class to take but finally I picked AIKIDO. I chose it because of its way of execution and its harmony of action. It is like a meditation rather than a physical exercise. It will improve your mental and physical skills. "The goal of Aikido training is not perfection of a step or skill, but rather improving one's character according to the rules of nature. - Aikido Aikikai Foundation"
Truly I am now an Aikido enthusiast because before it was just a goal to try on but now its like a habit to me. My week will not be complete if I will miss the practice. I also have now more questions on the technique and I also realized that I still not doing it right so I should practice more. You can see its simple but if you will really deeply understand Aikido, you will say its hard.
Aikido is already a part of my regular routine and I'm hoping that I can practice it in the coming years to come. :-)
