Week of October 20

Students,

Just wanted to let you know that I will be absent both Monday and Wednesday this week due to work travel. I'll be back next Monday, Oct. 27. In the meantime, I'd like you all to work on things that you need to refine - beginners, things like rolls, basic technique; advanced students, techniques appropriate to your rank and next test. Advanced students, it's VERY important that you incorporate any advice you received from Hayashi sensei into your training.

Thanks to all of you - beginners and advanced students - for your enthusiasm and spirit this semester. It has been a great start, and I know those who were able to attend class Wednesday and train with Hayashi sensei are experiencing some new thoughts about your own aikido.

See you next week,
Frank

Class on Labor Day?

Fall semester at EITC

Attention all aikido students!
Classes for the fall start Monday, Sep 8 - 2 weeks away. EITC is now serious about having a minimum of 7 students signed up, and ideally before the first night of class (in fact they called to cancel the summer class on the first night since only 1 person had signed up).

Please be sure to sign up as soon as you can so that we can have a class indoor this fall, and let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Thanks,
Frank

Neck injury

Not really serious, but I wont be in tonight. It happened on a very slow, easy roll, just tweaked it a bit.

hey guys,

I'm not sure who is going to be able to make it to class this week, but i'm up for training if anyone else is, so please let me know if anyone is going to be at class tonight so i'll know to show up.

Summer Camp

Students,
Just wanted to let you know if you haven't been coming or were absent Monday that I'm leaving for the summer camp in Colorado Sunday, and will be there training all week. Unfortunately, I also have a meeting in Poky tomorrow afternoon, and then a trip to DC when I get back, so won't make it to class till Aug. 6.

If you come to train at EITC (in the grass for those who haven't been there this summer), train safely and productively. I hope to learn new things to share w/you this week!

I've wont be able to make it in this week as I'm working on a couple of presentations I have to give @Dixie college in St. George, UT next week and I've also got to get a test data load figured out. I'll should be done so I can make it next Monday, but we may be leaving on Tuesday, so I might not make it next Wed.
