Roxas City Aikido Club is back! </h3>
After more than a month of hiatus Roxas City Aikido Club is back! In my previous post, 'We Are Transferring Our Dojo', I mentioned, that we were transferring our dojo to another location, because of major leak problems on the previous venue. What delayed us from re-opening right away was our mat. Since our mat was made of compact foams, it was soaking wet when we took it out.<br>

have in both hands. So during the first day and succeeding days of my training, every time the Sensei (Sensei Max Tian of Cebu Ki Society) names the attack and the technique to be executed, I could imagine question marks would pop up above my head and say "Huh?". Whenever there were seniors beside me, they would repeat what Sensei said and I would say, "Ahh... What is that??"<br>
<br>
After a short period of time, I have learned to execute the techniques properly, (or at least my execution improves each practice) but I would still get confused with the Japanese terms.<br>

</div>
<b><i>Introduction:</i></b><br>
<i>Before I post about the different Aikido techniques, I would start this blog with the etiquette that Aikidokas should observe specially once we are in the dojo. To start with, I would like to discuss the concept of REI or bowing.</i><br>
<br>
<b>Rei </b>means more than just the physical motion of bowing. <b>Rei</b>- an essential part of Budo (martial way) practice- is generally translated as "respect and appreciation or gratitude". Thus when you are bowing to your Sensei or fellow practitioner, you are expressing your gratitude and respect.<br>
