	My training has slacked off to abyssmal levels in the past few months
because of my work schedule and my distance from my instructor and his
school. I would like to get a partner for training maybe twice a week.

	I'm looking for someone to work with on:
	1) evasion drills
	2) footwork and positioning
	3) training to receive blows
	4) throwing me around a bit so that I don't forget how to fall!
	5) two man and slow motion sparring drills

	Ideally, I'd like to find someone who studies Taiji (so that we can
practice push-hands). But I'd be interested in training with anyone who
is sincerely interested in making this stuff work, likes to train
intelligently and is open minded about training methods and different
arts.
	Most of what I want to practice is oriented around soft arts
(yield/evade and counter). They aren't really very power oriented,
though I'd like to have someone to practice with the kicking shield and
focus mitts. These training methods are very basic, non-denominational
and usually pretty fun. I'm willing to go halfway, and train half in a
potential partner's style and half in the way I train - though if
someone wants a partner for something other than Aikido, Karate or
Taijiquan, then they'd have to train me from scratch :-)

	Please send email.
