Kia ora everyone.

Auckland Aikikai is proud to be running seminars again for current, new and ex-members of the Auckland Aikikai and Shinryukan family.

We will be running two seminars before the end of the year and this is the first one. Its 3 hrs in duration from start to finish as we welcome our Aikido family back to Kohimarama.

It will be great to train, see old faces and catchup around the art we all love.

The seminars will be small and intimate with around a dozen or so people confirmed already, as we look to rebuild and foster new and old connections.

We hope everyone is safe and well during these unprecedented times. We will be monitoring the traffic light system to see when it will be safe for our students to train indoors. Until then we will update everyone on re-start times for the dojo as they come to hand.

We usually break for Xmas around the second week of December so it may be we take a cautious approach and start training in the New Year. Although this is not ideal, we have a duty of care to those who train in this beautiful art.

In the meantime, take care and look after each other.
