“Moving to Adult Class” by Catherine White
Last April, when I turned fourteen, a lot of people at the dojo started asking me when I was going to start adult classes. To be honest I had not really given it much thought. To me aikido was just an activity I went to one or twice a week, trained, and had a good time.
When I thought of the adult program I pictured a lot of tall, scary people who were way older than me. I did not know if I was ready, but I went to my first adult class expecting to find a bunch of black belts who wanted to hurt me, instead I met Erickson Sensei. I was still really scared to train with adults, I just wanted to hide and observe from the mat while other people helped Sensei demonstrate. Except, for the very first technique Sensei looked over at me and said, “Can you do breakfall?”
