Howdy all,
This is a reminder that we have our monthly workshop on weapons training this Saturday (see details below). For GLA members, these are essentially extended classes for no additional cost. For visitors, we do ask that you pay a modest mat fee of $20 to help cover costs; however, if finances are an issue, please don’t let that stop you from attending.
Saturday, Oct. 25th 9:30-11:30am – Weapons Workshop focusing on formal Aikido techniques of tantodori, defense against attack with a tanto (knife). Note: this is not the same kind of training as our practical knife defense seminar last August; this is more formalized training, focusing on specific Aikido techniques that you might have to demonstrate on a test. Bring your own tanto if you have it, though we have many we can provide.
If you plan to attend, please RSVP by registering here, and let us know if you have any questions. After these workshops, feel free to join us at a local establishment for a drink. We hope to see you on the mat!
Cheers,
Matt Lowry – Chief Instructor, dōjōshu (道場主)
