My 3rd Kyu Test in Aikido

Yep, sankyu test at Aikido Eastside in Bellevue. Sword kind of blah, fumbled the first ushiro ryotedori iriminage and murdered the ushiro ryokata dori ikkyos, but otherwise not so bad. Only public since I can't make an unlisted video :(

Good to see 'that' bokken kata. Very rarely do I come across it on RUclips. And I trawl RUclips a lot. Lovely work :-)

Bravo. The technique is so similar with our school. Because this is a demonstration I sure hope you do it fast and explosive. Keep going.

This is the best sankyu test I've seen on youtube by far. Thanks for posting it :)

I stumbled on your test while watching test videos. I am getting ready to administer my first Sankyu test and wanted some inspiration. Most of the videos I have seen are unimpressive, I was very impressed by yours. Excellent control, good technique, great composure and flow. I hope you are still training, we need more Aikidoka that train like you and your school.

Very good 👍🏻

[@ESLTeacherTom]

Very good job. You are clearly have good training. I've seen black belts not as developed as this.

This is Sankyu?! Wow, so many techniques. Even including Jo kata and Bokken. Do you train in the US?

@prestfeldt Hello! Thank you for your kind words :) I am still training (daily!) - my 2nd kyu test is around here somewhere, too. Happy training to you!
