Another fantastic entry into the New Year with our celebration of Kagami Biraki. Here's to a year filled with new experiences and friendships expanded. A huge shout-out to our very own Orpheus Hawkins for his promotion to Godan, and congratulations to all who were promoted.
Omg, *love* the group photo for 2023 Kagami Biraki!! Everyone looks so happy. Perfect way to start the New Year! Congrats again to Orpheus; he's so awesome. 🫶🙏🙇♂️💙

For this week�#MeetOurMembersmbers Monday we have Belinda.
Belinda started training Fall 2018.
She really appreciates the harmonious, non-competitive aspect of Aikido. Her understanding of the art form is that the goal of any defense is about regaining control of a situation while inflicting the least harm necessary on the attacker, and examining our own mind while doing so. A moving mindfulness practice of sort, and good training for life itself!
Happy #MeetOurMembers Monday! This week we have Stefanie.
Stefanie first started Aikido 2001 and is happy to have rejoined this year.
She enjoys how Aikido effects life on and off the mats as well as the community.
