Aikido, the modern martial art!

Aikido is an effective, nonviolent system of self-defense. In fact, many police agencies throughout the world include aikido techniques in their arrest tactics training. Yet the founder of aikido, Moreihei Ueshiba Sensei, talked of his creation as the art of peace and reconciliation. He often commented that the primary goal of aikido was to make better human beings.

At Aiki Zenshin Dojo we strive to honor the vision of Ueshiba Sensei. I hope that you will take time to check out our web site and the links that we have included. If you have any questions, feel free to send e-mail or give me a call. Foremost, I cordially invite you to visit our Dojo, observe any of our classes, and get a feeling for our community.

Our new "Aiki-Tots" class is going great!

Thursday, 07 May 2009

On April 22nd we started a new program for children ages 5 - 6. This class meets on Wednesdays from 4 - 4:40 pm. Many times over the past 16 + years I have dismissed any suggestion of starting such a program. We have an extremely successful children's program and I truly look forward to our kids 'storming' the dojo five days a week. However, I've had difficulty imagining younger kids, tots, being able to embrace the physical skills as well as the jouney of self-discovery that this art offers. To put it simply, I was wrong.

Yesterday was our third class and these little ones entered the dojo with a sense of respect and an eagerness to learn. Three 'senior' children have volunteered to assist me with our 'aiki-tots'. Mark, Alex and Josephine are not just modeling physical skills. The kindness and patience that they are showing their new aiki brothers and sisters is touching my heart, and our little sponges are soaking it up! Each class has grown in sweetness!

If you would like more information on this program, please give me a call.

Here's a silly photo taken during the Hofmeister Sensei Seminar.

Wednesday, 29 April 2009

I've had a lot of stuff getting in the way of reviewing our recent seminar with Tres Hofmeister Sensei. The review is coming, so please check back. In the mean time, Jason just sent me this silly photo and I just couldn't resist posting it. The young one being choked by me is Jason's son, Kyle! As an aside, we do take our training very seriously and we like to have fun too!

Here are two beautiful galleries with images taken by Jason Tsuyemura. Thank you, Jason, for your many ongoing contributions to our dojo!

The children's gallery features April Huang, Shayna Kapadia, Evan Nusaputra, Frances Lin, Nathan Nusaputra & Melvin Lin.

Brett Whaley was our only teen candidate for the day. He did a very strong test which is apparent in the photos.

Enjoy!
