Today Wendy Palmer Sensei relayed this quote from Endo Sensei (I believe), "You cannot fully understand aikido until you grow older, so until then, save your body."
In the spirit of healing our bodies, and under the instruction of Glen Leichman Sensei, we allowed ourselves to be tossed over nage's hips, so that we could practice gently dripping down like a tickling waterfall.
Soft ukemi.
It's like magic, from shaping your body and relaxing it, you and the mat refind your oneness without a shocking slap. Melting, melding.
This is an equalizer, reminding me that uke and nage are one, we fall into one another.
