Thursday, 26 August 2010

Last night was my first ever training with Takeshi Yamashima Shihan and I was very impressed with his aikido and his gracious accessibility to students of all levels. After 'taking falls' from Yamashima Sensei one participant commented, "He had a hold of my entire skeleton." Someone else said that he was "softy powerful!" I took quite a bit of ukemi (attacking, being moved / thrown) his touch was light, his heart very open and his center very dense yet expansive.

I warmly encourage you to join us on the mat with Yamashima Sensei... you won't be disappointed!

Tonight, Thursday, 8/26, 6 to 8 pm -- Aikido of Tamalpais. Info: tam-aikido.org

This weekend, 8/27 - 8/29 -- Aikido of Fremont / Aiki Zenshin Dojo. Here's our insurance waiver ... please fill it out in advance and avoid some of the sign-in bottleneck!

Summer Camp in the Rockies 2010

Monday, 09 August 2010

click for gallery

On the last week of July Boulder Aikikai hosted its 30th Annual Summer Camp. It was a wonderful week of training, hanging out with old friends, meeting new friends, breathing in the mountains, eating, sleeping and a little sightseeing. Many kudos to Boulder Aikikai for putting on a truly spectacular camp!

At last year's camp I took lots of photos with my newly aquired camera. This year, not so many. This gallery includes a couple of outdoor training shots, a number of photos taken on Friday evening just before we headed downtown for the big dinner party, a few pics taken at the party, quite a number of images taken at Saturday morning's 'photo-op' and a few shots taken though the car window as we made our way back to the Denver Airport. Enjoy!

I have gotten soooooo far behind on our Test Event gallery postings. I spent the weekend in Santa Cruz and found a couple of hours to work on this gallery. I've missed posting a number galleries of Test Events held before and after this one. It just happened that I had a dvd of these images in my brief case.

An old Yelp.com review by Barry B. has reappeared!

Tuesday, 11 May 2010

I don't have a clue as to how yelp.com manages its reviews. Sometimes a new review will disappear within days and then again an old review will suddenly appear. Here's a very nice review posted by Barry B. on 6/13/08. Thank you_ Barry and thank you_ Yelp.com!

"I'm a long time member of Aiki Zenshin Dojo. I have been going there since the early 90's. I've practiced karate and aikido many places, but rarely have I seen a dojo that fosters a sense of community like this one. It’s clear that Sensei Skys truly cares about the development of his students. The dojo is well established and has many advanced students and teachers. Classes can be strenuous, but Sensei balances the physical activity with wisdom from his life experience as well.
I can think of no stronger endorsement than to say that the dojo feels like home to me."
