Once again, we celebrated
the end of another academic year with
our annual demonstration and potluck...
This year, we had a Hot Dog Barbeque at our Gordon Head Rec
Ctr space, the Bert Richman Building.
Coming
together as an Aikido family, we celebrated another successful
year of Aikido practice in Victoria.
We express appreciation to all students and parents for the
support of and interest in Aikido.
The Demonstration
Students
from the different grade levels gave a demonstration of some
of the movement and
techniques they practiced over the year at their Aikido classes.
Included were a variety of techniques, tachi-dori, jo and
bokken, and multiple attacks.

Students
from our Aikido Kids under 7 class were so delightful....

Students
from our regular youth and adult classes did marvellously too. |

We
bade farewell to the Forghanis, one of the first
families who were very supportive of us
when we first began offering Aikido classes
here at Gordon Head.
Thank you so very much for your interest, support,
warmth, and friendship. You will be missed. |
A
letter of introduction was also presented to
Noah Rondeau, who will be away in Quebec,
and who may want to train in a Dojo there. |
