Linda Eskin - Aikido Sho-Dan Exam - Aikido of San Diego

My sho-dan exam, on 13 December, 2014. Age 52. I began training in May 2009. Sho-dan is the lowest of the black belt, or yudansha, ranks. Sho-dan means "beginning rank." This test is just a milestone on a lifelong journey. Learn more about Aikido, the martial art of harmony, and follow my blog sharing my experiences as a student at http://GrabMyWrist.com. Aikido is a non-oppositional, non-competitive practice appropriate for all ages.

Many thanks to my kind mentors, ukes, and our training partners during exam prep: Karen, David (also testing), Scott, Cyril, Megan, Jay, Ran, Eric, Marco, Jake, all my dojo mates, and of course my teacher, Dave Goldberg Sensei.

You can find all of my exam videos here: http://grabmywrist.com/helpful-stuff/my-exam-videos/. Better yet, come see a class in person. Most dojos, including Aikido of San Diego, welcome observers. If you are thinking Aikido is something you might enjoy and benefit from, don't wait, find a dojo and start training!
