We are pleased to host Bill Gleason Sensei and Tres Hofmeister Sensei - both Nanadan (七段) 7th Dan. This will be their third time teaching together in Maine.
These events provide opportunities for the Aikido community to learn from highly skilled practitioners whose long-term dedication includes personal experience with Saotome Sensei—both from his time in Japan and his early years in the United States.
The theme for this event is: “Awaken, Then Practice”
The emphasis is on awakening to the importance of basics, where principle is the foundation of all basics, and then practicing.
