[Upon beginning] "I'm so inspired by what you do.  To me it seems like THE WAY to use aikido now.  I'd love to learn more."

[After a year or so] Dear Sensei Brandon, Thanks so much for making this year more meaningful, interesting and uplifting.  Your teachings have been a great anchor and support over many months and the alignment of mind body and spirit that you show us is profound.  We all increasingly need to be able to do conflict well and we're so fortunate to have you as a guide and living example!
