At each stop along the route, we performed 13 no Jo Awase , so spectators could see the precision, timing, and blending that are central to Aikido. When we reached the stage, the MC remembered our group from last year. He recalled our past demonstration and asked if we had something to show again. Of course, we did. Thank you to everyone who cheered us on along the route. It was wonderful to be part of such a lively celebration in Balbriggan .
