We love and miss our students! To better serve everyone during the extended shutdown here in Washington and elsewhere, Shinju Dojo Aikido is now offering private video lessons online. Each session will last up to one hour and will be offered for at least as long as the shutdown lasts. To participate in a session, a smartphone, tablet, or computer with video and microphone and a FaceTime, Skype, or Zoom account are needed. Our regular, paid students can schedule up to one session per week for free for the duration of the shutdown. Those who are not already members of the dojo who wish for long distance lessons can sign up for the discounted price of $25 per session. Billing will be done online and a credit card is needed for payment. Contact us at [email protected] or (360) 998-0749 for more information and to schedule your session. We hope to be back on the mat with everyone soon!  Due to concerns over the Coronavirus and Governor Inslee's proclamation, the Youth and Family Link Gym is shut down until at least March 31, 2020. Shinju Dojo Aikido will also be postponing our classes until further notice. We will keep everyone posted as we have information. When we do get the go-ahead to reopen, March dues will be credited towards the next open month's classes. In the meanwhile, we encourage our members to spend time enjoying the spring sunshine and time with their families. We look forward to seeing everyone soon!  Congratulations to Cory and Chance on your yellow belt promotions last night! You guys did great and we're very proud of how much you've learned in such a short time. Keep up the good work and you'll be black belts before you know it!  "In an abundance of caution regarding the recent COVID-19 outbreak, we are cancelling our 2020 spring clinic planned for June 5-7. We hope to reschedule for sometime in the fall. Our primary concern is for the health and safety of our students and guests. Thank you for your understanding." https://www.windsongdojo.com/2020/03/07/2020-spring-clinic/  I was perusing Windsong Dojo's website and found this great resource of study guide videos for new people all the way to Sandan (3rd black belt) level. Check it out: www.windsongdojo.com/2020/02/08/aikido-study-guides-available/  I was recently asked if we post our rank requirements for promotion. I have uploaded them to the Class Information page, but you can also download them here. As you might notice, it's fairly easy to build your skills to earn your black belt with regular practice. We do not have tests, as such. Rather, our philosophy is that when you are doing a demonstration for promotion, it is a demonstration of skills you have already shown us you have mastered. You have already earned your rank. But, it is good practice for getting over stage fright, building confidence, and celebrating your hard work. We never charge for promotions. You have come to class, participated, learned skills, and formed lasting bonds of friendship. You have earned your rank for yourself. Enjoy your rewards! We are proud of you!  |
