Spring 2009 training camp

I would like to thank Sensei Carter and the Aikido-kai of the Columbia dojo for their effort, organization and enthusiasm in pulling together the Aikido Academy's Spring 2009 Training Camp. It is truly a dedicated collaboration between the instructors, students and the students' families to host such an event. This spring we had the pleasure of welcoming and training with Mr. Jack Walker and Kyoshi Gary Shull. Thank you to those individuals for being a part of our training experience.

Thank you to the Spartanburg Aikido Academy members who traveled to Columbia and supported the camp with their enthusiastic participation. Thank you also to Ms. Hale and Mr. Hammacher for covering classes thereby making it possible for me to teach in Columbia.

I look forward to seeing everyone at the next training camp.
