Aikidamashii DVD night!

Aikidamashii organized a get together for a premiere night of the 10th IAF Seminar & Congress dvd purchased by Chiong san who so nicely opened up his home for the get together. It was also to see whether there was footage of any of our members who attended the event. Therefore a few of us were quite excited!

There was a generous spread of dishes courtesy of the members.

Sighting no. 1!

Sighting No. 2!

Sighting No.3!

It seems that everyone got their share of airtime! As the euphoria of the "3 seconds of fame" subsided everyone settled down to watch the dvd. Look at all those attentive faces. Noh san would join us later.

The seminars just get better...

and better.

"We are really enjoying ourselves!"

We're not always that serious you know.

And this is what you get after watching 3 hours of non stop aikido!

See you all at the dojo next week!
