Stepping on the mat
Nerves racking, heart racing
Excitement and uncertainty blend
As a new journey starts to take shape
Sensei smiling, sempais bowing
Deep breaths, ready to begin
From the basics, I start to learn
Moving in harmony, falling with grace
Aikido is more than martial arts
It's a way of life, a way of being
Teaching me to befriend my emotions
Emphasizing the power of connections
Grateful for this chance to learn
Aikido will stay with me forever
A journey that's just beginning
And a path that's always worth pursuing
So join me, take that step on the mat,
Where nerves and excitement mix and match,
A new beginning, a new chapter unfolding,
Aikido awaits, and it will be worth holding.
poet: Natalia, shodan at Kihon Aikido
