After nine years students are still asking about this crazy experiment! We will begin on July 31st and end on August 16th. See here for details.

Most of us attended at least a few days of Sarpy Aikido Club's event. Shihan taught jo, tanto, and some chokes this time around. Testing went great and we gained a nidan. I'm passing along thanks from the event planners to those who came early and left late to help make the event shine.

Update! Thanks everyone for making this a success. We collected over $700 to help cancer patients take some art and movement classes at Alegent Creighton.

Once again we invite everyone to come celebrate the art of Aikido as taught by Christenham Sensei and the AHI dojos in the region. We will to donate ALL proceeds from this event to benefit patient programs offered at Alegent Creighton. These classes range from art, to meditation, to tai chi. Every person who comes will get a ribbon to tie to your belt or to take home.

See details here.

Come out and renew your spirit!
