Congratulations to William, Cody, Tomas and Chasey for a great aiki test! Everyone passed!

Aiki will start at 2 pm this Saturday, 6/22/24.

We had a great class today! Was fun to have Eric Moye and Randy Bonifay join us!

The Okinawan Karate Dojo of Dallas got new tatami mats! This is the dojo where we train now and we are super excited for the new mats! We had fun throwing each other today :)

Congratulations to Tomaz and Chasey for passing their 8th kyu test!

The Yokage Aiki Jujutsu club will start regular in-person aiki classes starting on Tuesday, July 13th, at the Okinawan Karate Club of Dallas. Class times will be Tuesdays 8 - 9:30 pm and Saturdays 1 - 3 pm.

Our founder, Sensei Bryan Robbins, has retired from our club, although we are sure he will make appearances occasionally! There are no words to express how grateful we are to Sensei Robbins for his dedication to our club and for bringing us all together. We will miss him greatly.

Tying in with Sensei Robbins's retirement, a decision was made to discontinue training at SMU and to find a new home. Cody Rogers, a student of our dojo, invited the aiki club to join his dojo, the Okinawan Karate Club of Dallas. We are very thankful to Cody and his dojo for the invitation. We taught two class seminars at the dojo in June to introduce us to the karate club and vice versa and we all had a great time training together. We felt very welcome there!

We look forward to training in-person again!

The SMU aiki group has been meeting every Saturday morning since March via Zoom. We have had the same consistent group showing up and I (erica) love seeing everyone every week. Thanks all! Attaching a photo we took today... there are several people missing that weren't able to attend today.

We do have several large announcements to make but we will make them at a later date before the end of the year.

I'm (Erica) so happy to see everyone during this time!! I'm also happy to see that instruction over video chat has been going as well as it has been. Today, Sensei Chuck walked us through the first 3 Nairiki. We had 11 people on the call! Cyrus joined after we took this pic. I joke that we have more people joining zoom than had been attending class in person 😀

Thank you to all who have been joining!

We had our first SMU Aiki zoom class today. We enjoyed seeing everyone and are happy to continue our training online.

We hope everyone is staying safe and healthy.

The SMU Dedman Center will be closing today (3/16) - April 5th and we will be cancelling all Aiki Classes. We will provide an update once we confirm the date classes will resume. Take care of yourself and your loved ones.

Correction, changed closing date from 3/17 to 3/16.
