  • Me at the aiki jinja
    Me at the aiki jinja; Iwama, Japan (Mon Apr 30, 2012 - 06:42) - The aiki jinja is the shrine on these grounds across the street from the 2 dojo properties, and it also has a traditional gate before the shrine, on the left a stone kanji carving, and on the right a memorial statue of the founder.
  • Sensei explaining
    Sensei explaining; Iwama, Japan (Sun Apr 29, 2012 - 18:03) - I didn't really understand what was going on here, but as everyone drinks they like to start showing each other techniques... Sensei is on the ground explaining something about leverage and pinning, I think...
