Upcoming Camping Trip
We have tentatively selected March 1st or 8th for our camping trip. We
plan on meeting at Little Talbot or Hanna Park Saturday afternoon and
train on the beach just before sunset. We'll then shower, have a great dinner,
and tell stories by the campfire. The next morning we'll train to the rising sun.
If you're interested, send Sensei an email
and please note if either of those dates work for you. Hope you can
make it!
Kendo Class
Mike would like to start a kendo class.
We will require a minimum of ten people and the cost per
person, annually, is $60, not including equipment. If you're interested, drop us an
email.

 Cleansing class a success!
Sixteen dedicated aikidokas gathered Saturday, January 12th for what was an experience of a lifetime. After two
brutal hours of cleansing of the soul (misogi), we all celebrated the new year at Otaki Japanese restaurant. And for those that didn't
cleanse, well, we all know who you are....(And washing your gi
won't save you!)

Brevard Aikikai's 20th Anniversary seminar
 Grady
Lane Sensei celebrated the 20th anniversary of his school on January 5th.
Eleven of our students drove to Melbourne
 to attend the seminar, taught by Peter Bernath Shihan of Florida
Aikikai. By my count, there were over fifty students in
attendance, from across Florida. Lane Sensei's seminar was a great
success, and a lot of fun. Congratulations to Tonya for passing her 2nd
kyu test, (in front of a panel consisting of a Shihan, two Shidoin, and
a Fukushidoin), and condolences to her uke Jerry, who needs to get in
shape if he ever hopes to test again. (Just kidding, Jerry!)
