It was a small group at aikido today: just 5 of us.

5-dan: qty 1 (Sensei D.)
4-dan: qty 2 (Senseis W. and L.)
1-kyu: qty 1 (M.L.)
2-kyu: qty 1 (me)

It's a great way to learn, but good heavens, the energy was intense. I don't often get to be the kohai for the class these days. Also, I haven't been that winded in quite a while!

Yes, basic japanese ranking -- happens in many places, I'm familiar with it from Judo and Go.

Rankings count upwards in dans from 1, and downwards in kyus from 1.
