This is what I am looking for (with as many pictures/illustrations as possible)
An article on Martial Arts, it does not have to be about Aikido but ideally relevant to Aikido. Maybe you have been to a seminar and found something that has enhanced your aikido training.
You or someone you know might have started their martial career in another art and have comments or comparisons to share.
Do you have a question that you would like answered? Maybe about how the BAB is run - what we do for you 'behind the scenes'. Just ask and I can arrange for someone to answer.
Have you attended a seminar and would like to write a report about it. Send pictures too as it makes it more interesting.
Does your organisation or club have a seminar coming up? Send me the details and I will publish it in the Aikido Times and I will also put it onto the BAB Facebook page.
Are you just starting out on your Aikido journey? Then send me something about your experience to date. It's easy for senior grade students to forget what those first few sessions are like!
Has aikido made a significant impact on your life? Do you have a story you would like to share.
Do you know of anyone who has used Aikido as a self defence in the real world.
Do you have specialist knowledge you could share.
Send me any details of any BAB courses/seminars you are running.
