Aikido Seminar!

Monday, April 26th, 2010

Martial Arts is a path that one chooses.  Often it has nothing to do with wanting to fight, but more is connected to curiosity, practicality and physical fitness.  Some of the nicest people I’ve met were through the Shobu Aikido Boston Dojo.  Shobu Aikido is “healing by the way of harmony with the spirit.”  If you are interested in learning more, call me at 203-848-8640 or call the dojo directly.  You can connect to it through my links page.

Every year, the dojo participates in some larger seminars.  There are two approaching in May.  There is the “Basics and Kyu testing” seminar on May 15th at the Boston dojo.  Go to http://www.shobu.org !  Also, there is the Spring Gasshuku (GAH-shkoo) at Shobu Aikido of the Berkshires on May 22nd!  It’s really great fun and camaraderie! Check out http://www.shobuaikidoberkshires.com. A great art with great people.
