A Few Thoughts
The curse is “may you live in interesting times” – unfortunately we do. Christchurch has been hit by a damaging series of earthquakes since 4 September 2010. I am conscious that we hadn’t put out a magazine for some time but recent events have left us little ability to concentrate on matters other than earthquakes. So for this issue we concentrated on the quakes and the effects on our people at Aikido Shinryukan Canterbury.
The initial quake on 4 September 2010 and which began this series was measured at 7.1 on the Richter scale. It actually caused relatively minor damage and no fatalities. We congratulated ourselves on our building standards and preparedness. We learnt about new items such as “liquefaction” [a mix of sand, water and mud which rises to the surface and has blanketed swathes of the eastern suburbs], and “munted” [ie broken by the EQ].

Wow! to an explosive start to ASC’s 2010 calendar and we’re going to see many more wows right through to March 2011 – yessss, you read me right, we’ll be having lots of aiki fun (as you can read in Andrew Sensei’s “A few thoughts…) right through to ASC’s 20th Anniversary come National Gasshuku in March 2011.

2009 has come and almost gone, and ASC has seen another wonderful Aikido year. We’ve had good growth in members and 12 yudansha grades – all this is possible only through YOU, the members of ASC – keep it up guys, and we will look forward to an even greater 2010. Happy holidays and let’s see how many of you guys are on the mat when we start up again on 5 January 🙂
