My belief about mastery is that it is tied more directly to understanding life through the vocabulary of Aikido than to how well I perform any particular technique.
This Substack is my attempt to explore that understanding.
I am a 67-year-old Aikido teacher and recently received the title of Shihan from Hombu Dojo. Here I share thoughts that arise through teaching, training, and trying to better understand myself through the lens of Aikido.
