Good test! Thank you for posting this. Very nice to see Kevin, Wendy, Joe & Saotome Sensei again. Was Marcia there? The dojo, as always, is the most lovely in North America (probably anywhere!).

@hotblood. Thanks for the comment. There is a very wide gap between those who are committed to Aikido, and those who are committed to something else. The "something else" crowd, in my opinion, lacks a credible following, and always will.

@per....Marsha was there, and, as expected, took the most elegant ukemi imaginable. Btw, the Dan candidate who acquitted himself head and shoulders above the rest was Sora. Sora also happens to be the one who is still doing quite admirable work for the Aikido community because he loves the art.

Yes, Marsha was off camera to the right. She was up taking ukemi in several other tests on this day. I recall we had 7 dan tests.

@dtorfleming
Technically, DTF is correct, that day was subjected to 7 Dan tests, but really 5. There was a 6th Dan test which devolved into a pseudo-karate fest, and another test in which the candidate forgot the Pledge Of Allegiance(Jo kata all of it). However, the more interesting thought is whether or not the instructor (sensei) was able to make the best of a remarkable opportunity, and have such a talent pool hoist the flag? Sometimes, history speaks for itself.
