Planned Seminars & Events
Each year, we gather together to train outdoors, camp, meditate, and make new connections. This tradition was started by Seiichi Sugano, who believed it was important to take your aikido into the world, build on your connection to nature, and learn to adapt your technique to the varying landscape. This year we are joined by Harvey Konigsberg (7th dan) and John Chiarolonzio (5th dan), who will be our guest instructors.
Sugano Memorial Seminar
Dates TBD
Brian Ericksen (5th dan), who founded Heaven and Earth Aikido Center, was mentored by Seiichi Sugano -- a direct student of Aikido's founder Morihei Ueshiba. Sugano Sensei passed away in August of 2010, and we gather each year to honor his memory. We invite special guest instructors, who will be announced at a later date.
