Aikido of Petaluma celebrates 30 years – update

On July 20th Aikido of Petaluma will be celebrating 30 years of teaching in Petaluma for Sensei Noha. We will be having a special training session reflecting on students and their lessons learned, as well as a first kyu test.  Former students, friends and guests are welcome to join or watch the training.

After class we will be going to Pub Republic (arriving there between 1:30 and 2:00) to celebrate and everyone are welcome.  Please bring cash to the restaurant as we cannot manage credit cards for this many people.

Pub Republic is located at 3120 A Lakeville Hwy. Petaluma, CA 94954.

We look forward to seeing you.

Human Beings…

Human beings are a combination of the divine, hidden, and manifest aspects of existence.  If you do not realize this, no matter how much time you spend chasing after other things you will never understand.

The Heart of Aikido by Morihei Ueshiba.  Compiled and Translated by John Stevens.  Chapter 4

Workshop Training

Training at the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology, now names the Sophia University with the theme of Standing on the Floating Bridge of Heaven.  The last class on Saturday was taught by the instructors of the federation.  These pictures are of Bob performing the Circle and Center practice.

First outdoor training of the year!

Normally we have weapons training on the last Saturday of each month, but to prepare for the Nadeau seminar we postponed January’s weapons training till Feb 5th.  And what a beautiful day it was for our first outdoor training of the year.  The sun was out and the temperature was perfect.

We practiced the first four Sho, Chiku, Bai movements and will be going over them and getting to the rest of them at the next weapons training.
