Sensei Carter of the Columbia dojo reminds us that the Spring 2009 Training Camp is fast approaching, and he's gotten a lot of registrations. If you're interested in going but haven't registered, don't wait too long to register. As of today, there five to ten spots left. Registration closes Friday, April 3. That's this Friday.
The April 18 Spring Training camp will include mini-seminars in Nihon Goshin Aikido with Sensei Wyndham and Sensei Carter, Gracie Jiu-Jitsu with Mr. Jack Walker and Ryu Kyu Kempo with Kyoshi Gary Shull.
If you haven't been to one of the training camps, it's a good opportunity to add to what you know about Aikido and complementary martial arts as well as a great chance to meet other martial artists.
To register, contact Sensei Carter at 803.951.3559 or senseicarter@gmail.com.
