Welcome to South Austin Aikido

Matt and Chadwick test for Ikkyu.  Man, what a grueling test.  I have not completely forgotten the total exhaustion experienced from my ikkyu test but watching these two brought back memories.  I was spent just from watching.  The aikido displayed was a true celebration on what we work for every day with very focused and relaxed movement.  A lot of practice was also evident in the techniques and the way each blended with their partners.  Great job to both Chadwick and Matt!!

Special thanks to everyone for supporting this test and to Michael, Shawn, Tommy, David, Hiroaki, and Todd for providing ukeme.  It was also very special to have Shawn, Michael and Josh visit from San Antonio to support the testing as well.

Unfortunately we will have only two more classes with Matt prior to his move to Oregon.  Good luck to Matt and Gwen on their new home. You will be missed!
