Ooof.

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!

*did mild internet search*

you were the trainee there, so 2-kyu is lower than 1-kyu?

Wow, nice. That reminds me of when I had a Tai Chi class, and it was just me, 2 Sihings (instructors) and our Sifu (Master). I felt way outclassed, but was really grateful for the intensity and insight.
