Welcome to South Austin Aikido

Christopher and Alina test for Gokyu.  WOW!! I think these may have been the best Gokyu tests ever at our dojo.  The cuts were clear and the movements were relaxed.   They both handled all techniques with ease and expertise.  Leslie Sensei had to dig deep into her bag of tricks to challenge these two with ushiro ryokata.  Even then, they both had ideas of how to handle the attacks.  These tests show how hard work and consistent practice make you capable of dealing with any attack even those you have not practiced.  It gives new meaning to understand the basics and you will be able to create techniques on your own without memorizing.  Way to go Chrisotpher and Alina!!
