Just wanted to say hi. A little about myself. I am a person who practiced Aikido for many years. I don't consider myself the typical Aikidoka. I wasn't introduced to the spiritual side directly until the last few years. I don't know every word O'Sensei, the founder said or every concept he created. I practiced and was taught and taught Aikido from only the technical side.
I am a down to earth person, and straight talking kind of guy, no non-sense. I am a private person. I am fair and opened minded. I like to discuss martial arts now that I am retired from it. That doesn't mean I don't still practice. I do, but with old friends and old students of mine mostly.
I like other martial arts. I don't think my art is the only art in the world. There are allot of other great martial arts out there. I may not be well known or have studied under well known, or exposed to well known Aikido Senseis as other Aikidoka. Because of that I think the many years my training and Senseis have has taught me much about Aikido (technically) and other martial arts which I can contribute and provide insight.
That is it!
