おい、皆さん!
Like a present for the "Nikolaus"-day, I took my 2nd kyu test today.
Damn, I have to say it was exhausting... so many techniques, so less time xD
I did it like Bruce Lee, I became water, my friend. I mean it literally xD
I sweated a lot, a wonder I didn't dehydrated. But as the title suggests I did it! I'm happy, another step taken towards my goal.
Well, here we are also at the catch. (You know there has to be one, everything has a catch ;) )
Aikido in itself is like endless. I mean, you can do it for your whole life and still you can find some rough corners, which you can work on.
Even though it's movements are simple, they are very complex.
It's a paradox and still it works out. (Well, at least for me it does^^) So I did the test today, I mean, I passed it and still it showed me in many ways how incomplete my knowledge and my techniques are. And as I know from others, this can be very depressing somehow, but for me it's thrilling. I like exploring it even more, trying to get it all right and to understand it.
It's not easy, and nobody said it would, but it is interesting.
I'm really looking forward to go that way even more.
To infinity and beyond! ;)
