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.

Doran Sensei Seminar Pictures!

I’ve posted 130+ photos from Doran Sensei’s seminar here on March 31, 2012.

This was a great seminar and the photos give a pretty good sense of the fun.

To see the photos go to the Aikido’Ka photo gallery.

By the way, I have a bunch more photos from the seminar that I’ll be posting soon.
