Hombu Dojo!
I got it! I’m member of the Aikikai Hombu Dojo!
For those of you who doesn’t know it, Hombu Dojo is the headquarters of Aikido in the world. At the Hombu Dojo are held the lessons from the direct descendents of the creator of this martial art, O-Sensei (Great Master) Morihei Ueshiba. Who currently owns the title of Doshu (”Master of the Way”) is Moriteru Ueshiba.
We can see him in action in this next video:
The truth is that this dojo is relatively hard to find as it is not located in a main street but in a residential alley. This is the address:

I didn’t realized of taking a picture of the street, but this is one of the front:
And this is a picture of the main gate closer:
These pictures have not the best quality as it was late and the camera performs really bad with so weak light. Other day I’ll try to take better ones. This is what I got there:
And this is the schedule for the classes I can take (except the ones for women):
I don’t know, I don’t know… there are so many lessons I don’t know which ones to choose! … That’s true, ALL OF THEM!
This is my super-carnet of super-aikidoka (hahahaha):
The other way round will show my progress:
This is all for today. Have a good night!
