Halifax Aikikai

Starting this week, February 25th, Tom Hackman Sensei will be conducting in-depth classes on a particular theme. These classes will focus on one technique or idea, with the intention of deepening understanding of Aikido principles. Please come with a focused and open mind that will hopefully provide new insight into practice. The free-flowing nature of these classes may run over the usual 12pm time so please plan accordingly.

Thoughts for the new year from Patrick Augé, of Aikido Yoseikan in Los Angeles.
