I have never attempted any martial art before so i didn't expect to enjoy it but it is growing on me and i even bought my own Gi which was rediculously huge and i could have fit in it twice, Thats the problem when you are 6' tall the Gi you need is also cut as if you are 6' round too, Luckily it seems to have shrunk...<br>This wednesdays session was taken by learning the techniques i need to get to 5th kyu or yellow belt dont how long it'll take me to get there but im going to stick at it. </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://aikidoblog.blog.co.uk/2008/08/01/first-few-sessions-4530116/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>aikidogitatamihttp://aikidoblog.blog.co.uk/2008/08/01/first-few-sessions-4530116/#comments
