What a Great Time at Doran Sensei’s Seminar

Jane Hill, Gabriel Cuppet, Joe Simms and I went to Doran Sensei’s seminar at Aikido of Ashland this last weekend. (Aikido of Ashland is Michael Friedl Sensei’s dojo.)

What a great time we all had. Not only did we get to train with wonderful friends and make new friends, the training was fantastic. We worked on important principles; in particular, we worked on maintaining a safe and effective distance, posture and taking balance. Sunday morning’s practice was particularly energetic and fun.

I can’t wait to share what I learned with everyone.

PJ6A7230Over the weekend, Michael Friedl Sensei taught a seminar at Aikido’Ka. It was wonderful! Sensei covered all sorts of material from jo techniques, to koshinage (hip throw), to randori (multiple attackers). What a blast.

We have lots of photos. I’ll post them as I get a chance.

 

 

Thank you, Jamie Sensei

Thank you, Jamie Zimron Sensei for the great seminar last night!

The seminar was a fundraiser for Aiki Extensions and it went wonderful. Everyone had a great time. Since I had laryngitis during the class, I didn’t train. I just took pictures and ran the video camera. So, we have scads of photos. I’ll be posting them as I get a chance.
