Practise on Monday 11th November

Practise on Monday 4th November didn't happen! The Centre was closed because the emergency lighting had failed. Hopefully next Monday will go ahead alright. We shall try again to practise some techniques from ryote-mochi ryote-dori.

Quote of the Week - 1st November

This week's quotation is from O Sensei. The Art of Peace is how the translator translates aikido into English.

There are no contests in the Art of Peace. A true warrior is invincible because he or she contests with nothing. Defeat means to defeat the mind of concentration that we harbour within.

Morihei Ueshiba
