Aikido of Reno

Good morning fine people! The practice focus this week is on:
THE FOUNDER CHOSE A DIFFERENT PATH
There are many paths you can take.
The Founder of Aikido in his generation took a path to resolve conflicts in the most humane way.
It is good to have a path.
Sometimes you will struggle, you will sweat, you will fail.
And it is good to have a path.
When you know your path, it’s easier not to get lost!
This week’s schedule:
***Monday, Today: Happy Labor Day! The Dojo is off for improvements. Please shadow train!
***Tuesday: back to regular schedule, let’s train!
***Thursday in all of the classes: it is EVOLUTION DAY, we will work on your material for your next level and free style Aikido!
Let’s keep on the path and enjoy the process! Vince Sensei

Awesome job by everyone at our Henderson Aikido community seminar. Special thanks to Kimberly Richardson Sensei, Arlene Mendibles Sensei and the whole group. Thank you very much everyone!

Good morning fine people! The practice focus this week is:
TAKE A STEP BACK AND SEE THE BIGGER PICTURE!
Aikido generally has a bigger perspective of how to deal with conflict.
Take a step back and see it all; the other person, the situation, the force, the strategies of how to resolve it the best way! Let’s practice!

Good morning fine people! The practice focus this week is on:
SPIRAL LEVERAGING
We often use a spiral to move with an attacker. Use the spiral to leverage their force to create techniques that are harmonious. It feels good, and is very effective.

This week’s schedule:

Tuesday: it is CONFLICT TRANFORMATION DAY in all of the classes. We use the principles of Aikido to practice several ways of transform conflicts into resolutions. These principles apply off the mat into life scenarios. This is a good day to invite a friend.

***Wednesday: it is EVOLUTION DAY in all of the classes. We will work on your material for your next level, and free form Aikido.

***Thursday: it is Demo & Testing Day! Challenge yourself!
12 noon adults
5pm youth & family: Test or earn your stripe
6:30pm teens & adults
These classes will be at the Dojo, and on Zoom. Go for it! Demo your track. Demo stuff we worked on. EARN YOUR NEXT STRIPE! Go to the next level! Expand!!! TAKE A CHALLEGE!

***Last chance to go to the Aikido Community Seminar in Henderson! This coming week end!

Let’s have a great week of training! Vince Sensei
