Congratulations to Vivian! Sometimes circumstances call for a pop quiz, or a pop promotion demonstration. Since she has been training since she could stand by herself on the side of the mat, this promotion was long overdue. Her senseis/parents are so proud!

Come out to help us celebrate FORTY years of Triangle Aikido and THIRTY years of Seibukan Aikido! It's going to be a great weekend!

o What has Aikido Taught Me?
Aikido has taught me to focus on the four “C”s.
Courage, Concentration, Compassion and Consecration

Courage to face my doubts and procrastination,fears and worries, to enter the fray without hesitation when needed.

Concentration to keep everyday activities focused on principles, and to draw upon the people and philosophies that provide strength.

Compassion to express our true humanity, to be empathetic and of service.

Consecration to understand within things small and those large beyond comprehension, Life itself is Holy and within every breath we can find worship and meaning…..

- Sensei Gil Fitts, 2014
