Seminar 31st July - 2nd August 2009

Once again Aikidamashii Dojo had the pleasure of inviting Zainuddin Abd Khalic sensei, 3rd dan and President of Aikikai Malaysia, to conduct a seminar. The seminar saw participation from members of Aikidamashii Dojo as well as BSRC Dojo.

In this seminar sensei focused on footwork and hip movements in executing techniques. Sensei also instructed on, among others, bukiwaza in several sessions of the seminar which gave the students a more tangible perception of how it related to taijutsu training.

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!
