Greetings,
Hope ya'lls Saturday morning/day/night is as nice at it is in Awassa right about now. Today, figured we would drop a bit of news for you and also take a quasi-real time look in on OLT training.
First the news...Tesfaye (AYC all-star/manager and aikido sensei), along with Rio (a Japanese aikido student here at AYC) are conducting an aikido demonstration at the Japanese Embassy this afternoon for the Ambassador! The demonstration is a part of a ceremony celebrating the Japanese martial arts. Aikido demonstrations are a component of a larger youth aikido program here at AYC (for more info please see the website or contact us). The demonstration is set to go at 4pm this afternoon...so wish 'em some good vibes. Will report back on the demonstration next week and hopefully have some photos too. For now, here is tesfaye striking an aikido pose like he was Madonna, watch out!...
And now, as usual Saturday mornings at AYC belong to One Love so here is some quasi-real time pics from training this morning, enjoy...
you ever wonder how you learn to juggle! like this....
...the ladies talking over their skit for the upcoming show.....
and OLTs youngest member (baby) learning the diabolo, folks this is determination....
You amaze me. Krishna and I are sitting here blissful about the progress and hope prevalent with OLT. Great shot of Tes, though I'd say he's more Elvis than Madonna. Tesfaye has definitely left the Tukol! Reply to this
