3 Shapes Aikido

Dawn and I just attended our first Aikido class at the 3 Shapes Dojo in Boise. We had a great time and learned a lot. We are taking advantage of their beginner special and hope to join the dojo after our trial month is up.

Aikido is a great martial art. It is one I have been interested in learning for close to 20 years now (hard to believe it has been that long!) A lot of people discouraged me from learning it by saying it had a very long learning curve and took a life time to get any good at it. After attending a brief introduction a while back we decided to look into joining a local dojo. 3 Shapes also offers classes for young children, so our two boys will be joining too.

I am sure I will be blogging more about Aikido and 3 Shapes as a learn more. Until then here are some great resources for you to learn more about Aikido:

• The Aikido FAQ
• Aikido Online
• Aikido Web
• Aikido.com
• Aikido Today Magazine
• Akido World
• International Aikido Federation
• United States Aikido Federation

Looks like I have some reading to do to!
