On Sunday October 23rd, 2005 we had two Kyu tests, with Alina Bushong testing for Sankyu and Charles Pummill testing for Rokyu. Charles did a great job, showing a good understanding of aikido in the short time he has been training. He easily went through the required techniques for Rokyu and a few additional ones including a jiyuwasa from katate dori rote mochi. Great job Charles! Alina looked like she has been studying aikido all her life, with outstanding posture and soft arm connection. Her randori was absolutely beautiful, utilizing every element we have been practicing. After my jaw quit hanging, I remembered to tell her what a great job she had done. Awesome job Alina (aka Aiki Princess)! Shawn and Michael Young from San Antonio dropped in to support the test effort as well. It is always great to train with our friends from San Antonio. Thank you for coming and we look forward to seeing you guys again soon. Thanks to everyone who provided ukemi for the kyu tests, including Chad, Luar, Ryan, Michael, Shawn, Tommy and Todd. |
