Is a challenging year for me in 2012, the assistant that i train for so many years had gone to KL to study, hoping that she will be back to JB after 4 years of study. There are people coming and leaving the dojo, some due to busy of work, busy of study, training method that don't suit them and so on and on, But is ok as i know this life is not an easy one for me. Since i chose to set up a dojo i'll try my best to manage it :)
The closeure of Taman Gaya Dojo was a set back, thou it was a small class with only 5 students but at least is a class that have student of passion :) So the students have to move to my HQ to train with me on Wednesday 7:30pm to 9:00pm. Thou the number of students drop to 3 person on wednesday but is ok, we can start all over again. June was a pressure month for me. As permas dojo had most of the indian training, but is their last month of training with me as they are moving back to India back with their family :) So the numbers of students drop again, from the starting of 11 when i help to manage increase to 22, now back to 14 :)
But overall is a fruitful year, as we already hit the target of min 2 Aikido demo per year, we have reach 6 demo this year and a new coming might be coming up on August for a dinner event. Thou all is a FOC event but it help to train the student reflex and courage during the demo. I'm helping to manage Pontain Dojo starting of July also, another new challenge coming in.
My students have make a good progress in their life and Aikido also, 2 become a stuntmen for a hollywood movie last month, one of them manage to use some Aikido teaching in his security guard seminar, promotion of new assitant leader so that they can learn to teach at least once a month and i can have some personal time to rest also :)
My 1st time oversea visit with Sensei Philip and be his uke for his oversea seminar in Indonesia, manage to make new friends and meet some old friends over there. Always having oversea guest instructor visit, Cheif Instructor Agus from Batam Aikido Club one of our friend affiliated under Aikido Shinju-kai :)
Overall is a wonderful year we have in 2012, thou is only July and maybe is too early to say is a wonderful 2012, but i'm happy cause we are moving to a new HQ, the permanent place for Hibana Bushidoo. My dream of having a own permanent HQ with full of painting as a art gallery will come true soon :)
