Greetings

Greetings, This new blog is intended be an open forum where students can contact me directly with questions regarding their personal training or Ki-Aikido in general. More specifically, we would like to use this as an adjunct to the recent publishing of my latest book called “Letting Go.” With the idea of encouraging a deeper study of this text, as well as a way to discuss and inquire into aspects of the teaching offered here, we are initiating a once-per-month Friday night discussion class at the Maui Shunshinkan Dojo. Each month we will address a single chapter. (The exact dates for 2009 and corresponding chapters are listed below.) As soon as possible after each class, we will publish a pod cast and accompanying transcript on this blog, so that both those who attend the classes and those unable to attend will be able to participate and benefit more deeply. You will be able to print out the text for later
