Bryan’s last gas

(re posted from email)

Senseis, Fellow Aikidoka, Friends, I bid you farewell:

Next Thursday, Jan 15, I set off for my Great White North Adventure. I will miss you. Training with the Sokushinkan and Sowakan clubs has been THE most rewarding experience of my time living in Vancouver. Thank you all for contributing to that. I’d like to especially thank Keith Taylor sensei for teaching us. And a special thanks to Greg sensei for his courteous leadership of our Vancouver club.

Thanks also to Khai and Patrick for their teaching. I feel I’ve been greatly privileged to train in a dojo where the blackbelts often outnumbered the coloured 3 to 1.

-Bryan
