We have completed preparations for our seminar this weekend with Tazaki Sensei. Our dojo is very excited and honored to host all of our visitors. We expect to train hard and learn much. Keep an eye out here for our reactions and photos from the event.
Aikido Shoanjuku is proud to announce that we will host Masakazu Tazaki Sensei for a weekend seminar in October. Tazaki Sensei will teach 2 Aikido and 2 Iaido sessions on October 19, 20, and 21. We will begin Friday evening (Oct 19) at 6:30pm with Aikido. We will continue Saturday morning (Oct 20) at 9am with Aikido and Saturday afternoon at 1pm with Iaido. We will conclude Sunday morning at 9am with Iaido. The fee for the entire seminar will be $100 with a per session fee of $30.
We would especially like to welcome the participation of all visitors. Our dojo has enjoyed hosting Tazaki Sensei many times in the past and our Aikido and Iaido training has benefited greatly.
We train under the instruction of Masakazu Tazaki Sensei. Tazaki Sensei has studied martial arts for more than 48 years. He has been a student of Shoji Nishio Sensei for over 40 years in both Aikido and Iaido. He had the honor to first serve as O-Sensei's uke (partner) in 1967 and then served in that capacity on several occasions in the following year. He has taught Aikido and Iaido in the United States and Mexico for the past 30 years and is the only direct student of Nishio Sensei teaching outside of Japan today.
We collect dues from our members on a monthly basis in the amount of $50. Visitors are welcome to observe and/or participate in at least one practice session before committing to their first month.
We train on Monday and Friday evenings. Aikido practice begins at 6:30pm and lasts till 8:30pm on Monday and till 8pm on Friday. Iaido practice begins at 8pm on Friday and lasts till 9pm. Please refer to our calendar for information on schedule changes.
