Yo finally got internet and time for an update. I am in Kobe for the
year, and I found a dojo which is part of the Hombu dojo and has
awesome aikido, they have practice 3 times a day everyday, so I am
now
going 5 times a week. In a couple weeks O Sensei's grandson is
teaching a seminar. These old men here are smooth and really have
mastered the basics. They dont have 6 kyu in Japan so I'm the funny
foreigner with the made up rank. If anyone is visiting Kobe let me
know I've got an extra room in my apartment. My new email is
adamepstein@...

Peace
