Aikido and My Life

Aikido, a traditional Japanese martial art which teaches the way of Budo, was introduced to me quite accidentally at a very turmoil junction in my life. I was at several cross roads of my life which was filling my life with much stress and it was impacting me on my health, my emotions and my life as whole.
I was immediately drawn to the flowing movements and charm of Aikido and from the day I saw Shihan Tadashi Komenoi, who later became my teacher and mentor, practicing with his pupils. However after experiencing Aikido first hand I knew I was truly beginning a journey that would not know any boundaries or limits.
