Marilène's test for Nidan

"Everyone can do Aikido. But no one can do it alone. Thank you Joshua Layton Sensei, my primary instructor, who taught me most of what I know since my first Aikido classes. You are one of the best teacher that I know.
I tried my best to represent the Nidan rank, but apologies for the many mistakes that remain to work on.
Thank you to my ukes, Aikido friends, and the specific people who gave me faith to continue at times that it would have been so much easier to quit.
A special thought to the teachers and friends who have passed, the teachers who were far, and friends and family who were there in spirit. Thank you." -Marilène
This exam was conducted by Donovan Waite Sensei at Montérégie Aikikai, April 11th 2015.
