When I first started practicing aikido, my sensei told me that I was &#8220;very much in my head.&#8221; These days, I feel like I&#8217;ve settled down from being in my head to more &#8220;in my shoulders.&#8221;

As always, I don&#8217;t claim to be an expert here, but with a broken clavicle, broken femur, sublexed patella, subluxed wrist bones, bursitis, and a psoas that can best be described as &#8220;too tight,&#8221; I definitely have some experience with training under less than optimal [...]]]></description>
