Our friend Felix, an uchi deshi at the NY Aikikai in days past, was here for the last two weeks. He helped us with so many details at our recent seminar, trained at every possible opportunity, and cared for lots of behind-the-scenes details. He goes back to Germany today and we hope he will come visit again soon. Thanks for being with us Felix!

How does gender shape experience in our aikido practice? In thinking about men and women, Okamoto Sensei talks about the reality that in aikido we are not separated by gender--as opposed to so many other practices. ⁠
