4/18/26 Post camp regional practice is being hosted at our sister dojo, Eastern Sky at 3300 Monroe Avenue in Pittsford

 

Post camp regional practice is being hosted at our sister dojo, Eastern Sky at 3300 Monroe Avenue in Pittsford this Saturday from 10am-12:30pm.  So that means no 9am class at our dojo this week.  Come see what ideas people brought home from camp and have another opportunity to congratulate those that tested!

Congratulations!

 

 

 

Congratulations to Andrew Robertson on an excellent Nidan (2nd degree black belt) test at last weekend's Spring Camp.

 

We also received rank certificates for Scott and Mark who tested last year for Nidan. Dan level certificates are done by Sensei by hand back in Japan and are well worth the wait. They serve as a nice reminder of the progress people have made. We also received Brian’s 6th Kyu Certificate, the first on his Aikido journey.

 

We gathered last night in the dojo to present the certificates and formally recognize Andrew's Nidan. It was an extra special event in that it was our first opportunity to advance a name plaque on our new Nafudakake, a welcome new tradition. Afterwards we retired to the local Brew Pub for some well earned revelry.

12/30/26 No class

After consulting with the Tuesday night regulars regarding tonight’s weather, we’ll forgo tonight’s class in favor of hot chocolate and binging Godzilla movies.  Stay toasty my friends!

 

See you all bright and early at 10am on New Year's Day!!!!!

 

Beginners Welcome!
