Evidence:
Journal entries for this Independent Component. Sorry that it's a little out of order, page 1 is just a brief summary of what I was going to do so I didn't think I had to add it in.
L:
I, Paul Navarro, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work.
I complete 30 hours of training at my dojo which occurred every Saturday.
I:
There is much I have learned from the 38 hours of training that I have done. I have learned to slow down to make sure that you understand what it is that you are actually doing before you try and put speed into your techniques. Another thing is that you have to go in with the right mindset. You have to go there not expecting to be the absolute best, you have to go in thinking that you are going to have fun or just learn. Last thing that I learned is that teaching is the only way to get to know and be able to do the technique/material better. Not the only way but it is the best way.
A:
Well now that the 30 hours are over with I actually think that I have two more answer to my EQ. One of them being: to teach people. To become a successful aikido practitioner you have to teach people how to do aikido because then you'll actually learn and get to know it more. You retain about 95% of the technique if you teach it, so it just shows that this is a good way to become a successful aikido practitioner.
Another answer that I have come up with was having the right mindset. Because if you go into practice with the thought of you going to be good right off the bat, showing everybody how good you are, you are going to go nowhere. But if you go in with an open mind ready to learn then you will learn you'll actually tend to get the hang of it faster as well. That is why I thought that this would also be a good answer.

Answer 1
1) Controlling your ki
2) Controlling your ki helps your body flow more smoothly; thus making it easier to get behind the person. To perfectly control your ki also allows you to use their momentum to actually take them down without using any of your strength. Using ki is basically what aikido is all about, but it does take numerous hours to figure out how to use and control your ki. To be able to use and master your ki will ultimately make you a master of aikido.

Self Reflection
1) P: I think I am doing fairly well with the parts of the project that need to be done, but I am not going above and beyond to be in that AE level.
2) Service learning: I am already more than half way done with my service learning, I have at least 35 out of 50 hours done.
3) Science fair: I having been on top of it because I keep thinking it is due on February, but I should be working on it, and getting started by getting the materials that I need.

Science Fair Proposal
1) The mass of the wooden bokken is directly proportional to the amount of force it inflicts.
2) Dependent: Amount of force done by the sword.
Independent: Type of wood that will be used.
Control: Height the sword will be dropped at.
3) This experiment pertains to my EQ because to be a successful aikido practitioner you need training. When you train with weapons you want to make sure that you get a strong, well made bokken or jo. I am going to be finding which bokken is the strongest; thus showing which bokken is best for training.
4) I will buy a number of bokkens, each made from a different kind of wood. Then I will be testing the strength of the wood with a vernier force plate (it measures, in Newtons, how much force was applied on the plate). The sword will be attached to a pole, probably with some sort of string; I will bring the sword up to a certain height, and let the sword drop. When the sword falls the tip will swing in an arch shape and hit the force plate; I will record the amount of Newtons, and move on to the next wood.
5) Mathematics and Computer Science.
