Welcome to South Austin Aikido

This past Sunday we had two tests with Chris Weber testing for Gokyu and Gilbert Hughes testing for Nikyu.

Chris got to go first and did a fabulous job of moving and bending his knees. His posture was good and he easily handled all of the required techniques, plus plenty of extra ones. His randori was off of the charts as he used the entire mat and kept all of his ukes spread throughout the exercise. Great job Chris on a great test!!

Then Gilbert came next, moving very well through the kyu test. Though he did get a little tired, his energy and pace of the test was very good. Gilbert did such a good job with all of the techniques that we added tanto dori for good measure and he did very well with the take-aways. Great job Gilbert and keep up the good work!!

Following the kyu tests we went over to PeiWei for dinner and celebration where we all enjoyed plenty of good food and conversation. Thanks to everyone for a successful kyu test Sunday and special thanks to the many ukes during the kyu tests.
