Michelle Pereira article by Paul Rest

Michelle Pereira is a student at Aikido of Petaluma and has done work with the Ronald McDonald House to create a fabric wall for the facility. The project involved doubling the size of the existing house and brought together 48 interior design firms who donated their products and services. The Ronald McDonald House provide a place for children undergoing treatment at Stanford Medical Center to live and eat with their families.  We are very proud of her contribution to this worthy cause.

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.
