It's the beginning of the year so we are doing very basic exercises in some aikido classes. I few days ago I was working with our shihan for an exercise on forward rolls. We had to help each other by holding one hand backwards. Let's say, he didn't need much help to do forward rolls 😅

We did some sumo today! My teacher read that O Sensei's students were regularly training sumo at the dojo, so he is trying to make this a custom here too.
We only did that for a couple of minutes.
We were avoiding the initial dangerous shock, so we were starting with each other's belt grabbed with both hands, and at the signal trying to push them outside of a tatami square.
I really enjoyed it!!

My number one hobby is #ttrpgs -- mostly the #worldbuilding aspect of them, DMing, very rarely playing. Been doing it for uhh 35 years now. The worldbuilding's been constant, the actual play much more intermittent. My current game's about eight sessions in with a bunch of nuggets, running #dnd 5.5. It's going pretty well.

Roughly equivalent to this is #meditation, #spirituality, and the #occult. I read a lot, I reflect a lot, sometimes I even do stuff, generally fairly ad hoc. I've been a #druid, a #christian, #asatru, various combinations of all three, now kinda doing my own thing.

Third is #cooking, though I don't do as much of that as I used to. I used to love meat and got very good at variously preparing it, then the wife went vegan and I discovered meat seems to tamper with my mojo so I don't eat much of it anymore and most of my cooking jutsu is moot.

Fourth is #reading in general, I suppose -- #speculativeFiction, generally, sometimes #romance, sometimes the happy union of the two. I'm not well-read, by any means, but I like it more than any other medium, when I have the brain for it. #Comics, too, especially #webcomics. Love 'em.

Fifth is #martialArts. I've studied, at various times, #karate, #taijutsu, #aikido, #savate, and #hema, though none to any great extent and none all that recently. I like to spar, and someday I'd like to pick up #judo.

Sixth is uhh well I want to pick up #crochet this year, maybe.

Also I sing sometimes.

Anyone wants to chat about any of the above, hit me up.
