Aikido coming together...

This past weekend represented 5 different groups coming together ....I noticed while kids and adults practised there were many smiles on the mat. A sign of success I think. 5 different instructors ranked from Shihan (Sensei Derm) to Shidoin and Fukushidoin taught ( Mike, Jim, Terry, Ivan) and many dan ranks (black belts)  participated. This represents long term practise and setting goals for aikido. More success on the mat!! A variety of kyu ranks practised each class as well. ALL GOOD !

Upcoming Seminar

On Feb 24/25 2017....  there will be classes for kids and adults ...come and practise ...beginners welcome

Take opportunity to practise ...



Snow Cancelled Feb 15 Aikido at Bishop Field but ..

WE lost one class to snow but we continue next week. REMINDER for the kids classes- new students can join at any time. AND kids wear loose pants and t shirt. AND NO COST.  Sounds too good to be true? There are a few of us around the city who simply love to practise aikido and YES we are willing to share our skill for no cost or very little. This is an opportunity for kids to develop a particular skill that is unique and in many parts of the world costs a lot to learn . I teach most classes but periodically other highly skilled and highly ranked instructors come and share their expertise. I am very grateful for their generosity.
