September Aikido Seminars with Bill Gleason Sensei

Copied from http://www.aikiweb.com/

Cleveland Aikikai and Oberlin Aikido Club are pleased to announce an upcoming seminar with William Gleason sensei on September 17 through 20, 2009. He has been visiting Oberlin and Cleveland for years and we feel very fortunate that he continues to share his comprehensive knowledge of the art with our community. The seminar keiko schedule is as follows: Cleveland Aikikai dojo at 3965 Mayfield Road, in Cleveland Heights, OH 44121: Thursday, September 17, from 7 to 9 p.m. This special class fee is $25 per student. Due to limited space, please register in advance. Oberlin Aikido Club dojo, Hales Gym, Oberlin College, 180 W Lorain St., Oberlin, OH 44074 Seminar fee $100, or $30 per class. Friday, September 18, evening class at 7 to 9 p.m. Saturday, September 19, morning class at 10 to 12 p.m., and afternoon from 3 to 5 p.m. Sunday, September 20, morning class at 10 to 1 p.m.

Apparently Bill Sensei is teaching a seminar in CA on 9/10. Aiki Journal doesn't list Oberlin or the Toledo seminar. Shobu of Boston lists only the September Toledo seminar. Confused yet?

I've sent Bill Sensei a email inquiring about the schedule and will update this if I hear back.

Until then does anyone have more info?

An Interview with Jay Weik for the Toledo Evolutionary Bodywork Alliance

This is a new video about both the Aikido dojo and the Zen Center that is from a local group I have helped create called the Toledo Evolutionary Bodywork Alliance. It is made up of a number of resonant folks who have banded together to help increase community awareness of what we do, including yoga, massage, hypnotherapy, energy healing and Nia. I hope you enjoy!
