As usual, the academic year ended with our annual demonstration and potluck...
Coming together as an Aikido family to celebrate 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 basic movement and
techniques to give an idea of what is practiced during an Aikido class.
Included were a variety of techniques, tachi-dori, jo and bokken, and multiple attacks.
