      I asked a friend of mine, who is a Judo Coach. His best idea: Do it yourself. Cut off an end and use a good sewing machine to sew it up.

      Go to someone who does leather work, they will have needles that are much stronger than a tailor would. Either that or just cut it and use frey check, wont have quite the same look, but it wont frey

      I usually tell myself something like: "I KNOW the curriculum. I'm going to use the Aikido grading as an opportunity to show them just how much knowledge I've acquired and what a badass I am."

      Good luck! :)

  5. Took part in a small Aikido demonstration for the public today. Nerve wracking but it was fun!
