$35

Sarasota Aikikai is very pleased to offer this year’s round of yudansha prep workshops!

Partly seminar format (with instruction), and partly interactive workshop format with plenty of time for Q&A (all the things you *wish* you’d been able to ask before), and real time problem solving with customized, practical solutions you can try out on your ukes right away. Plus mock-testing OF COURSE for those who will be testing for real at the seminar in August.

The instructors:

  • Mike Page (6th dan)
  • Tim Magill (6th dan)
  • Melissa Bell (6th dan)
  • Ola Karasik (5th dan)
  • Meredith Abel (4th dan)

The schedule:

  • Friday 6:00 – 8:00pm:  Shodan Focus topics + open hand randori
  • Saturday 10:00am – noon:  Nidan/Sandan Focus topics + weapons randori
  • Saturday noon – 1:00ish:  Mock Testing
  • Saturday Brunch provided in the dojo
  • Saturday 3:00 – 5:00pm:  Class based around feedback/Q&A from the Mock Testing
  • Sunday 9:00 – 11:00am:  Weapons for Testing (all levels)

All the instructors have pledged to donate their time and effort to support the regional aikido community ♥  so there is no registration fee for this event. Instead, we respectfully request a $35 donation/weekend or $25/day to cover costs. Registration is available online at https://form.jotform.com/251905582373158 or you can register and pay at the door the old fashioned way 🙂

Thanks, and see you soon!
