It was such a joy to celebrate Didier Boyet Sensei’s 80th birthday and 55 years in Aikido. He is an exceptional martial artist, a dedicated teacher, and a loyal friend. This gathering brought together more than 100 people from all over the world. His uncompromising standards and cynical humor have helped so many.

More than 90 degrees in the dojo tonight. Getting comfortable with discomfort is part of practice. But doesn’t mean ignoring your body or its warning signs! On the contrary, pay close attention to your body and push it to do just a little more. Stay hydrated out there! #シカゴ郊外
