It is with great pleasure that I announce you that I am now a 3rd kyu of Aikido.
We had a passing grade last night and our revered Sensei decided to give me the grade.
Shodan is still very, very far: Eric Sensei always corrects my errors – and every time I wonder how I do not remember what he told me. He will probably correct me my whole life and that’s fine: I must learn how to fall properly, it is especially important that I face my fear of falling. And I should improve all known techniques.
When passing grade, I always find myself a bit silly, to blank on techniques which I know the names, I’ve done 100 times, for which Eric Sensei has already given me billions of corrections… but suddenly, because of the stress, it is a drama.
But the main thing is the progress I made since 4 years…
En un mot comme en cent : félicitations 🙂
Et vu ton assiduité, tu vas bientôt faire les techniques de plus en plus automatiquement et comme le dit le film Le dernier samourai, pour réussir il faut “non penser” !!
Oublie la technique et fais la, cela va t’aider à la rendre plus fluide.
