Yanagi Aikido's Grand Opening Seminar is bringing together fourteen teachers from four different organizations in our region to share their insights into Aikido. This will be a great opportunity to gain exposure to many different perspectives, ideas and techniques while sharing practice with old friends and meeting new ones.

Held in Norwalk, CT January 20-23, 2006.

If you have some time and are in the area this weekend, stop by and help us celebrate our grand opening in our new space! It should be a great time.

Since we are a AAA (Aikido Association of America) dojo, a lot of the instructors are from our organization. Also there are instructors from AWA (Aikido World Alliance), USAF East, and Nihon Goshen. If you follow the above link, there is a place to download the seminar flier, which has the topics that will be covered by each instructor, and just some more general info.

I hope some of you can make it. :)

Ah.... *rubbing hands together in anticipation* new fish.... ;)

Seriously, seminars are great fun, and I know most of those that are coming and they're all excellent people. Stick close to the blackbelts; they'll take good care of you *heh heh* :hypno:

Just let your partners know your ukemi level and you should learn a lot and have a lot of fun.

Can't wait to see you there!
