Newsletter/Makoto

On behalf of the Kyoseikan Dojo, I would like to welcome our member, friends
and families to Makoto, our Dojo newsletter

Makoto is a Japanese word with many meanings. I chose this as the name for our newsletter because Makoto is most commonly recognized as the word for truth.

The primary purpose of this newsletter is to give our members a place to express
their understanding of Aikido with others.

It has been my experience that training in Aikido is complex and at times physically, mentally, and emotionally confusing. This newsletter will help to support our members through their training by allowing them to share and compare their experiences with their friends and family members.
Aikido is not a sport, it is a way of life , and as such there should be an understanding that there can not be only one winner and one loser. WE all experience wins and losses on a daily basis, this newsletter will allow each of us to share in those successes and receive inspiration and encouragement in our times of struggle.

Enjoy our newsletter and feel free , as members, friends, and family members of
our Dojo to add your comments, pictures and articles to our next edition.

Mata Sensei,
Kyoseikan Dojo Cho
