I would like to pick up on one of the points that Caroline Redl raised in her letter to us &#8220;Caroline Redl on Freeform Aikido - a letter&#8221; -&#8221;I find that your free forms prevents from getting into a routine&#8221;.

Even though it is already a few weeks ago, that I visited your dojo, the pleasure of having had the chance to experience your freeform aikido still stays with me.
Again, thank you all for your very warm welcome!

I pondered this and pictured both the surrender to the waves and  the extension through myself when I have ever body [...]]]></description>
