What We'll Be Working on During This Seminar . . .

You'll be working on whatever you want. Come to the seminar with your most pressing aikido questions and challenges and we'll do our best to help you through them. Or, train on the techniques you enjoy the most. Or just show up and see what happens.

We will all meet with the same goal: Helping each other succeed in our training, enjoy our practice and build friendships. After the seminar, you should be a long way to overcoming your aikido challenges, -- or, at least, understanding how to ultimately answer your questions and overcome those challenges. And, you will have had a great time.

The Choose Your Own Adventure Seminar is an experiment. We've never held a seminar like this before. Here's the plan right now (if it doesn't work, we'll change it): Before the seminar, we will collect everyone's questions so that we have an idea of what people want to work on. If there's a particular theme to the questions, then we'll address that theme at the beginning of the seminar.

As nage, you will work on the techniques and/or principles you want to work on. As uke, you will do your best for your partner's technique/principle study. Michael, Frank and Mark Senseis will work with you to answer your questions. Keeping an open mind and giving your best training effort will lead to everyone having a terrific time and learning a lot.
