I started practising the art of Aikido in November of last year. I promised myself that if I stayed interested and kept practising for six months, I would buy myself a dog. Dogi are the clothes we wear while practising, similar to kimono in karate. You can practice Aikido in any comfortable sportswear until you purchase a Dogi. So here I am six months later and still very interested, so the promise has been kept. It feels a little awkward to wear all white, but I’ll get used to it, I guess 🙂
