With all group activities stopped, Neil from the UK shared with me some ideas he sent to his students for how they may continue their practice. One immediately popped as a potential match for Mel. Shadow Aikido! Performing the movements of Aikido techniques with an imaginary Uke. Oh… imagining the biggest, strongest and meanest Uke in the dojo, the one that always blocks you, and teaching him a lesson!!!

Thank you Neil Antony Shaw!

Who doesn't want to be a black belt ...? Knowing that you hold power in your body with which to defend yourself and your loved ones. It's a beautiful thing -and it's within reach - but it takes action today. Training starts whenever YOU decide it's what you want. 💪🏽

Even if you have taken a break from training, it's never too late to pick it up again. 💪🏽
