I my self started doing aikido in the tender age of 9. It all begun because my father was training aikido and somtimes I came along to see what Aikido was like. Because I was so young I can't remember my motives for beginning it but I guess they had somtehing to do with Turtles..

Now allmost 12 years later I still do Aikido, it's partly habit partly a passion for the art.
