The odour of many years of sweat and yes, blood. The odd hole in the wall. That’s what gives a place of training its character. No it’s not pretty. But look for the instructor behind it all and there you will find your success in the martial arts.

Brilliant — I hope this means you’d consider doing a bit of teaching. Good luck to your wife with the job and please do get in touch when (if) you move up here. We’d be happy to help with anything we can since it’s always a challenge moving to a new place.

If my wife gets a job up there, we will be moving up in April. It just so happens I am a 2nd dan in Tomiki Aikido

Well, too bad Chicago would be such a haul for you to get to. Thousand Waves is where my roomie-of-the-soul goes there and it’s pretty (see photos http://www.thousandwaves.org/Facilities.htm) and right next door to a spa that it used to be part of. Also, look, smiling women: http://www.thousandwaves.org/AdultSeido.htm
