Just a reminder to everyone that there are several opportunities for advanced training with outstanding senseis this summer. Bill Plank Sensei, godan and dojo cho at Jackson Hole Aikikai (also chief instructor at Capital Aikikai in Washington DC) is scheduled to return for the summer later this month. You can find the dojo training schedule at jacksonholeaikido.com. You'll also find a flyer for the August 22-23 seminar presenting Francis Takahashi Shihan. See the flyer for more details.
Boulder Aikikai is hosting the 29th annual Aikido Summer Camp in the Rockies, to be held in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, from July 19-26. It's too late to register, but Sensei, Mike, and Brandon will be attending (this may be an opening for the first all-women classes at Snake River Aikido!) The instructors this year include Mitsugi Saotome Shihan, head of Aikido Schools of Ueshiba, and direct student of O Sensei, Hiroshi Ikeda Shihan, dojo cho of Boulder Aikikai, Frank Doran Shihan, dojo cho of Aikido West and Division II head (our division) of the California Aikido Association. Guest instructor is Morihiko Murashige Shihan, dojo cho of Jiai Aikido in San Diego.
Finally, Doran Shihan celebrates his 50th year of Aikido this November! See the following link for more details:

It was a memorable class this past Wednesday, as women outnumbered men on the mat for the first time in Idaho Falls! Heather, Angie, Mary, and Alicia trained with Mike and Sensei for this historic class.
