I'm interested in going to Japan, for something between a year and two, to a dojo of Aikido as an Uchi Deshi. I live in Argentina, where we have a strong connection to Japan's Aikido thanks to Kenzo Miyazawa. My Sensei was taught by him, and he is already helping me, but he told me I should find a dojo that suits my needs and wants. Hence, I come to you.
Im 17 years old, Male, I do not have much expierence in Aikido, but will obtain a full year by the time I finish my school education. I do not speak Japannese, but plan to learn before I travel. I know this two factors already crush most of my chances, but Nicholas Pettas went to Japan without a clue of its language or culture, and is know a black belt in Karate. Something similar happened to Alex Bennet, 6th Dan in Kendo. He went as an exchagne student, with no knowledge or expierence in martial arts.
Im looking to travel to Japan. I may consider USA or Canada, but I believe that this experience should be the 'real deal', even though I fully know that Occidental dojos offer the same quality. It is just that I am fascinated by Japan. The culture, the land, the history, and of course, the martial arts. If I can, I would choose it over anything else.
I am aware of the duty that all uchi deshi must go through while on their stay. I am ready to do anything, as every second of it, from the most pleasurable to the toughest, is part of the experience.
