Catching Up

I set this blog up a while back, but have been way too busy to post to it, so I'm about 10 weeks behind. But, in an effort to get some of these thoughts posted, I'll be catching up with my training journal over the next several posts. To catch my padnah's up, I've been training with Patrick Parker at Mokuren Dojo in Magnolia, MS ( a Fugakukai - affiliated dojo). It's been mainly private lessons, although I've been able to squeeze in a few group classes here and there. I've done 8 lessons so far in both Judo and Aikido. Before starting at Mokuren Dojo, I took about a year off from Aikido (after just over of 40 hours of training), and this is my first experience with Judo.
