My Aikdo Sensei
As I put on my Aikido uniform, I was very nervous about starting classes once again, especially since I didn’t have any practice in almost a year. I had no idea what to expect from my new Sensei, “What was his teaching style? Is he truly a good teacher? How well am I going to get along with him?” These questions ran through my mind as I was sitting in the car, on the way to my first class. Little did I know, as I walked through the doors of my Dojo, that I was about to meet one of the greatest people I would ever meet.I stepped into the sparring room; it was the biggest room in the whole dojo; just like the rest of the building, everything was decorated in a traditional Japanese style. The walls were made of wood that the Sensei carved himself along with his students. The floor mat was white, covered with a stretched cloth, and the walls were covered with weapons, staffs, and katana swords that were used for practice in more advanced classes. In the middle of the dojo right in front of the sparring area, there was a shrine to Morihei Ueshiba, the founder of Aikido, under whom Homma Sensei studied for several years.
