Today is Chiba Sensei Memorial Day. To honor the founder of Birankai, Van Amburgh sensei will be teaching a class this Saturday at 10:30am exploring the 3 “W’s”.
This is a concept he often referred to. How do you bring this to life in your dojo?

O Sensei Memorial Day is April 26.⁠
Aikido dojos around the world celebrate the founder of the art, Morihei Ueshiba, O Sensei.⁠
Van Amburgh Sensei will be leading a special Saturday class in commemoration.
⁠Are you holding any special events/ trainings in your dojo to commemorate the occasion ?

“Study the teachings of the pine tree, the bamboo, and the plum blossom. The pine is evergreen, firmly rooted, and venerable. The bamboo is strong, resilient, unbreakable. The plum blossom is hardy, fragrant, and elegant.”⁠
-Morihei Ueshiba
