The Odyssey of a degree

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

My name is Manuel Hernandez Hernandez and took twenty years practicing Aikido, most of them remain faithful to the teaching of the same teacher. Good, today criticize who has left to follow his teachings and is curious that those who criticize me a few years ago would not courses Aikido claiming it was a very hard and sweating a lot. I do not normally get into these stories and I do not care what degree practitioners get, but I want to clarify two points.

First: I stopped practicing with my teacher because I think that if me or my companions passed through a ring of fire to get degrees allow new groups join it do not have to get around. And above all do not let you decide with whom I can or not maintain a friendship.

Second: my title retention third Dan Aikikai. After paying the costs of the examination fee and a course of Spain Aikikai examined me with the result of obtaining 3 Dan, congratulations and compliments are all. During the time that happens titles are handled disagreement between my teacher and me with the consequence that the United Kingdom Aikikai titles delivery without consulting my teacher. This forces me to attend, according to him, an official course titling. First a course in Gran Canaria, where delivery is not me, because it is not Spain Aikikai. Second to a course in November in Tenerife (Frank Noel) cost € 75, I was not delivered, because as the teacher deems it appropriate, which I doubt.

Well seeing the negative, I contact with Spain Aikikai and tell me that I have to attend a course to pick a title that is mine and that they will do their best to fix it. Nothing, over time and do not leave my titles Tenerife and finally the solution.

Anastasio Kotsekidis, Club president Aikitas, of which I am vice president in less than two weeks getting my diploma and my Yudansha together with the first Dan Rafael Hernandez, was also retained.

The conclusion is that this man wanted to organize a course in Gran Canaria with a cost of € 40 per attendee to deliver titles that are already payments and take a group photo.

Moreover Aikikai Spain delivery to another person titles, and instead of pressing for the return and correct the error, prefer finding that the problem does not go with them, allowing a single voice within the organization ignore the president himself and returning to me in the same situation.

It is painful to see how it works and I hope the next aspiring know grade by this organization to tie everything together well and do not pass the same.
