Elly and I went to the 2010 Cherry Blossom Festival, and I got photos of an aikido demonstration by Northwest Martial Arts.

1: Elly and I took the bus in to avoid the downtown traffic. These flowers were near what I thought was the bus stop (but wasn't—but that's another story). |
3: Susan and Leslie demonstrate basic techniques |
4: Austin had a broken arm, but was tossing Randy around nonetheless |
|
5: '…with one hand tied behind my back! Er, I mean, in a sling!' |
8: Susan reclines during a demonstration of 'unbendable body' |
|
9: Yamamoto-sensei and Krohn-sensei demonstrate advanced techniques |
|
14: 'Oh, did you want that knife? No? I didn't think so.' |
16: The bokken 'encourages' the kids to move faster :) |
|
22: Randy, Austin, and Yamamoto-sensei demonstrate a jo kata |
24: Randy helps Krohn-sensei demonstrate jo throws |
|
25: I think Randy spent more time in the air than on the ground during this demo. |
