BigRock Aikikai Fall Shihan & Shidoin Seminar 2024 with Alex Loo Shihan, 6th Dan & Michelle Lapointe Shidoin, 5th Dan
Posted on by Sensei Steve Erickson
Nov 15-17, 2024 at BigRock Aikikai - G, 7004 5th Street SE, Calgary AB
We are excited to have two guest instructors for our upcoming fall seminar!
Alex Loo Shihan, Aikido Kensankai Toronto, will teach buki-dori (weapons taking) in all classes. Weapons taking forms are mandatory technical requirements on all 2nd, 3rd and 4th dan tests. We hope all black belts will take advantage of this unique opportunity. Yudansha please bring your own Tanto, Bokken & Jo when possible. There will be plenty to borrow but if those who have their own weapons bring them, there is less chance of running out. *** all BigRock Aikikai yudansha who expect to take exams in the next 12 months should plan to attend these important lessons ***
Michelle Lapointe Shidoin, Agatsu Aikido Montreal, will share her expertise and wealth of knowledge with the non-black belt participants helping junior students to build a strong foundation.
Alex sensei's black belt lessons and Michelle sensei's non-black belt lessons will take place simultaneously with the training space divided into two areas.
