“Found this hip gem of a place to Practice Aikedo. My dutch Bf made me a Bo Staff from the oak trees in his backyard but Sensei insisted I used their Bo Staff and I got a splinter in my hand. I enjoyed the classes although he was pretty Chatty. I made some friends in the group & will continue Practicing at home.“
