Winter (Kan) Shugyo

Kan shugyo brings students at all levels together for an extended training session that helps to clear our minds and sharpen our focus on the meaning and goals of budo as we enter the new year.

The full shugyo session includes time devoted to meditation, activated breathing exercises, aikido, and weapons. The emphasis is on introspection through prolonged practice (thus the long span of hours). A hearty group meal at a nearby local eatery will conclude our intensive day.

Stay tuned for the complete schedule to be posted soon. For those who have been struggling to balance time and commitment conflicts between aikido practice and other aspects of your lives, kan shugyo opens a ripe opportunity to rejuvenate your dedication to your personal training and to demonstrate your ongoing commitment to your dojo, your teachers, your aikido colleagues, and the art itself.   RSVP today!
