George Ledyard, Aikido 6th Dan and Direct Student of Mitsugi Saotome Sensei

 

This four day Intensive will focus on developing an advanced  understanding of multiple attacker principles and strategies as well as providing a deeper exposure to the principles underlying weapons work in Aikido. An emphasis will be placed on applying "aiki" principles in both empty hand and weapons work striving towards unification of both skill sets.

 

At Aikido Eastside we have  been developing this event for almost 25 years. We believe it is unique in its focus and content. Whether a student is attending his first Intensive or has attended many times in the past, it is our experience that he or she will make a substantive jump in level over this weekend. A testament to this fact is that the vast majority of students have come back repeatedly to participate again and again. Students routinely travel from all over the US and Canada for this training and several have even come from overseas.

 

 This training places equal emphasis on the technical and psychological aspects of Aikido and we feel that it is a paradigm shifting experience for the attendees, especially for those who have not attended before. We feel so strongly about this that we will refund the cost of the seminar for anyone who does not feel that this is one of the finest raining experiences they have ever had.

 

Cancellations before August 1st will receive a $200 refund. Cancellations after that date will receice a $200 credit to wards any future event at Aikido Eastside. $75 of any registration is non-refundable.
