Promoted to 5th kyu Aikido

On 6/26/2025, I was finally able to test for the second time in my Aikido career.  After all was said and done, Sensei congratulated me on a "clean pass."  I was pretty stoked.  There were two other students I had been working with before my surgery and recovery, and I was really hoping to get my testing in with them at the same time, but better late than never.

The dojo is having a camp this week and some of next week, but then it closes for summer break, which stinks, but it will start back up in August.  I'll be ready to hit the mats then.

Congratulations! Well done. How frequently do you guys test? Thats you on the road now anyway

I think they typically only test twice a year.

Congrats, Brian!! I’ve always respected those who seriously train in multiple MA because it takes a lot of dedication to train floor to floor.
