Visit from Hombu Dojo in February 2009



Good News to all aikidokas!

Hombu Dojo has extended an offer to the Brunei Aikido Federation (BAF) to send 2 instructors to Brunei for a seminar as well as upgrading session (if requested) in February 2009. Hombu Dojo conducts an annual roadshow whereby it sends its instructors to certain countries to conduct seminars and upgrading part of its effort to spread and develop aikido worldwide. It is very fortunate indeed that Hombu Dojo is including Brunei in its list of countries. Apart from Brunei, the designated instructors will also be visiting Jakarta, Indonesia as well as Manila and Cebu, the Philippines.

For those of us in Aikidamashii who attended the 10th IAF Congress and Seminar at Tanabe, Japan in October 2008, it was a truly memorable and valuable experience being able to attend the keiko of various shihans and direct deshis of O' Sensei (Kaiso) as well as to learn the culture and training etiquette and standards in Japan. For those of us who do not yet have the opportunity to train in Japan, this is very good news indeed as now all aikidokas in Brunei will have the chance to train under and learn from 2 senseis from Hombu Dojo in February 2009 and hopefully every year onwards.

A committee headed by Mr Ahmad Isa has been set up by BAF to organize the Hombu Dojo visit. Details will be announced later once all arrangements have been finalized so please visit our website regularly for updates.

Any volunteering assistance is most welcome! To volunteer assistance please call Hj Sabtu Hj Awg Besar at +6738841155 or Sarah at +6738713542.



A BAF meeting was held at Aikidamashii dojo on 29th December 2008
