I am envious that you have Sawada Shihan coming to visit. I have recently found a dojo 10 minutes drive from our house Aikikai style. I trained with them for a month before Ramadan. No females but then us Wellington girls are used to doing it tough. Fantastic training and very similar to us. I was a bit nervous that they would not be too keen on females training but they have been really welcoming and I think they find me rather amusing, (hard to know when they only speak Arabic or French), especially when they remind me to finish properly and then find themselves flat on the floor!!! Must admit I am a very rusty bike at the moment. I haven't been back for 2 months as Adil and I have started a new Riad and it has been busy. Hoping to be back in 2 weeks. The instructors name is Aziz Belkamel, I cant find a website for them. Love to everyone. xxx aaaaahhhhhhh. I am envious that you have Sawada Shihan coming to visit.

Sawada sensei is one of my favorite teachers with some of the best aikido I have ever had the privilege to see. I really appreciate him coming to Wellington as it's prohibitively expensive for me to go to Japan to train with him. -t This will be a great seminar to attend.
