Sakura Sunday

This past Sunday was the annual Cherry Blossom Festival, or Sakura Sunday, in Philadelphia. Every year our dojo participates in demonstrating aikido for all the festival goers. Basically it's the one time we get to show the public an otherwise pretty private art. This year the weather was a bit cooler, but nonetheless, a beautiful day. The cherry trees were in full bloom, the demonstration went wonderfully and the company and training of my fellow aikidoka, marked the start of a wonderful spring. Hope to see you there next year!
