		<description><![CDATA[Ok, it&#8217;s been a while since I have posted something on anything, iaido, piano, or Colemak keyboard layout. I listened to this nice recorded interview of Ellis Amdur about Aikido on http://usaikido.com/ .

Even experienced students will probably find kata starting in tate hiza unpleasant for the left leg. Some groups regular practicing on firm tatami or canvas mats in Aikido or other jujutsu [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=texasiaido.wordpress.com&amp;blog=797570&amp;post=13&amp;subd=texasiaido&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Those include my experiences in martial arts training mostly Iaido and Aikido, learning jazz oriented piano, and learning to touch type with the Colemak keyboard layout.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=texasiaido.wordpress.com&amp;blog=797570&amp;post=6&amp;subd=texasiaido&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
