The move to Magnolia has, if anything, strengthened the Aikido program at Mokuren. We have the new uchideshi and 4 newbies that look like they might stick. The Judo program is waning. I think it's a longer drive for most of them and they've been mostly skipping out on me for various reasons. But it looks like one of the aiki guys may enjoy Judo too. We'll see - the two programs wax and wane over the course of time anyway. For some reason, it appears to be a natural cycle that the two classes don't flourish at the same time. The karate instructor should be back from vacation this week and we should have his students in here twice a week.
