What better way to beat the winter blues and welcome in spring than with a veritable feast of aikido seminars in October. Seminars are a great way to get some themed instruction, see the art from a different point of view and renew beginners mind. Treat them as your main meal or a bit of spice on the side

Theres plenty of local action within an easy drive, or for the more adventurous pop down to Sydney or other capital cities.
