More Aikido

So, I guess my two main focuses since I came to Japan were Piano and Aikido. Both share some similarities in perhaps that I was previously not too enthusiastic about either and now really like both. On November 29th I might take a test to increase my rank in Aikido. Just some brief information, unlike Judo and many styles of Karate (In the US) Aikido does not have a color belt system. It only have two belts, white belt "kyu" and Black Belt "Dan". You start at 6th Kyu, move up to 1st Kyu, then go to 1st Dan and go up. I might test of the 5th Kyu, of course is you are 2nd Kyu or above you can wear a black Hakama.
