About Me
- uchi deshi
- I am an uchi deshi - that is to say, a live-in student at an Aikido dojo under the tutelage of Sensei, our teacher. This is a personal account of life as an uchi deshi training in Southern California. When I moved in over 4 years ago there were 9 of us - 6 men and 3 women. There are now 6 uchi deshis living at the dojo - 5 men and 1 woman. The dojo cat has moved on.

Say, did Gabe test at Aikido West in CA? If so, I watched him test! His face looks awfully familiar.
Gabe took his test at Aikido West with Doran Shihan on March 7. He studies with Karl Grignon in Montreal.
Yup! Saw his test. There were three shodan tests in a row. It was really interesting and inspiring to see three different personal variations on the same techniques.
That was me!
