		<description><![CDATA[She had no business being there. Thirty-five, her friends all in Jacksonville. And Aikido, of all things. She practiced four, five hours a day. She&#8217;d never even been to New York before. But there she was, for five weeks, sleeping on the mat. And training, with partners fifteen years her junior, and twenty years her [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not going to mention his name, because I&#8217;m not sure he&#8217;d want that. He&#8217;d been training a long time, and not just Aikido. So long, in fact, that his instructor, a senior American practitioner, once referred to him as sempai. The day he came I was teaching. We were cubs back then, that day, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[He certainly didn&#8217;t look extraordinary. Tall, thin, his hair carefully combed back, he would sometimes hunch his shoulders, the way some people do when they walk. When I first met him, there was nothing to indicate anything unusual, or special. I remember when he first stepped foot on the mat. He did so carefully, without [...]]]></description>

There was a club in those days, Einstein A-Go-Go, and years later, on open mike night, I would watch my friends play there, badly. It was also the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Editors Note: For those who may not know, Sam is leaving us this August, for greener pastures in Atlanta. Sam began training with us in 2007 at the University of North Florida. Before Aikido, he trained in Shorinji-Ryu Karate, and he plans to continue his Aikido training in Georgia. On a parting note, I thought I&#8217;d [...]]]></description>
