aikido clas

i went to an aikido class today and boy it was a workout. I think the teacher was even taking it easy on me, too! I'm not much of an exercise person, too, so I was sweating like a pig in the dojo. My form of exercise is usually walking and bike riding. So the martial arts class is entirely in japanese but I could understand a little. I decided to just throw myself in the language because I'd learn faster. Luckily the teacher knows a bit of english (though his speech is hard to understand.) I bought a japanese phrase book and it has helped me a lot, too. I know much more japanese since I arrived here. I'm also practicing how to write hiragana and katakana. Anyway, the aikido was fun still. It's all about discipline! I feel so cool...... soon I'm gonna have muscles to attract the ladies... hehe :p

This picture is NOT mine. I just wanted to show you what aikido looks like. I can't imagine that i'll be able to do that in the future. Makes me nervous..
