The next test...

I'll be testing for 3rd Kyu in Aikido next month. With all the time I'd spent going to classes for Ninpo Chuan Fa, I still made time to train at least once a week with Jack for Aikido.

The material keeps coming pretty easy for me, and I'm still enjoying what I'm learning. While it's been a lot to kind of re-learn Ninpo Chuan Fa while learning Aikido, it's been a lot of fun for this martial arts geek.

Hoping to meet with John this week to see what we can do to get our classes going again. This fall we'll look to find a way to sync up our schedules and see what we can go forward with, whether doing a kids class is an option, and possibly a seperate Tai Chi class. I'd especially love to see the Tai Chi class go forward again, as John was especially good at teaching it.

We have lots of leeway with the space at WREN, which has been an excellent place for us to practice and hold class, even while sharing the space with many other groups that take advantage of the space. Also been told that the "rent" for the space has gone down considerably, from 40% to 25% of what John would make teaching there.

Also, we were able to move a metal locker that we can keep our own equipment in with a lock now. I lent it to a friend who wrote/produced/directed a play that's now being shown in the old Church section. After he's done, John and I can use it for whatever we want kept in there.

More good stuff coming...
