I recently came across a very interesting website with downloadable copies of the first book on written by Morihei Ueshiba, the founder of aikido on his famous martial art. The book is called "Aikido Maki-no-Ichi." Even though it is written in Japanese, English speakers may find the illustrations interesting. Check out the website here: https://www.aikidosangenkai.org/blog/aikido-maki-no-ichi-osensei-first-book/ A PDF version of the book itself can be downloaded here: https://www.aikidosangenkai.org/downloads/aikido-maki-no-ichi.pdf

Congratulations, Alex, on your yellow belt promotion! You'll be a black belt before you know it.  I recently came across a very interesting website with a downloadable copy of a book written by Kenji Tomiki, the founder of Tomiki-Ryu Aikido. The book is called, "Judo Taiso – a method of training Aiki no Jutsu through Judo principles," and was first published in 1933. While the book is written in Japanese and is no longer in circulation, the photos and illustrations are of interest universally. The website with information about the book is: https://www.aikidosangenkai.org/blog/judo-taiso-aiki-no-jutsu-kenji-tomiki/ A PDF version of the book itself can be downloaded here: https://www.aikidosangenkai.org/downloads/judo-taiso-aiki-no-jutsu-kenji-tomiki.pdf  Congratulations! Roy has been promoted to master level, sixth degree black belt and Heather to seventh. It was a total surprise and we both feel honored. We appreciate all our students over the years who have asked the tough questions that have kept us learning. Thank you to all our friends and mentors who have helped us along the way. We look forward to many years of teaching to come.  We hope you had a wonderful Christmas! Due to icy road conditions, Youth and Family LINK has closed their facility and gym today. We don’t want to take a chance on the roads either, and out of an abundance of caution have decided to cancel class tonight. Cross your fingers the roads are clear by Wednesday! See you soon!  A great, big, thank you to everyone who came out to the solstice walk on December 18! We had a fantastic time and enjoyed all the smiles warming up the longest night of the year. We appreciate everyone who helped out with our booth and kept everything so happy. See you next year!    Congratulations, Patty, on your promotion to yellow belt! We're so glad to have you in class and look forward to many more happy mat hours with you!  Congratulations to our newest yellow belts - Kaitlyn and Brooke! You are doing great and we're proud of you!  It's that time of year again for the annual Solstice Walk! Shinju Dojo is sponsoring the planet Mars, named after the Greek god of War. We look forward to seeing you there! Please contact us if you can help out at the booth. Where: Start at the marker for the Sun at the south end of Lake Sacajawea Park. Walk at your own pace to the marker for Pluto 1.64 miles north (or 3.7 billion miles, according to the model!) Passports are provided at the event. Get yours stamped at each planet and station. When: 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM on Saturday, December 18, 2021 (The solstice is December 21 but the walk will be on the Saturday before.) Cost: Free! Space Shuttle: Round trip too long? No problem! They will have their popular space shuttles for a quick ride between the Sun and Pluto. Thank you to the Afifi Shriners for volunteering the space shuttles and pilots! Restrooms: Park restrooms should be open through the event at the Lions Shelter (south end, Nichols side) and over the foot bridge (Kessler side, at Hemlock north of the playground). Check here for the official website and more details: https://www.friendsofgalileo.com/solstice.html  Congratulations Cory, on earning your brown belt! We're so happy to have you in class. You'll be a black belt before you know it.  |
