Spring/2020

Everything has come to an abrupt change .... we were looking forward to a great finish to Bishop Field aikido this year. It's been a great group with lots of skill to demonstrate. As the coming weeks unfold we will post what further aikido activity will take place.
Should you be curious about techniques for different rankings a very good link is the following (excellent video demos):

Practise today

Today and next wednesday students will be practising for upcoming tests. On March 25 14 students will test for 6th kyu(white belt). Several more will test for 5th kyu (yellow).
On April 1st the rest of the class will test for their next ranks.
In the past month a few elementary students did test for 6th kyu. They are to be commended for well demonstrated skills!!!!!
GENERAL- Since the start of this school year our aikido class has averaged between 33 to 37 students. It's been a very motivated group and progress is evident. Congrats to all !!
