Closing thanks almost delivered at the end of the National Aikido Yuishinkai Seminar at Goshinkan dojo, Byron Bay, Australia by Danny James Sensei, Head Dojo Instructor, Griffith University.
We would like to thank our Chief Instructor for his creativity and efforts in the spread of Aikido Yuishinkai. For us in our own little dojos around the country its wonderful to come together and experience aikido without boundaries because of your efforts. Today we have a direct connection with the source both personally and organisationally, with wonderful resources at our disposal to continue our practice back home. Each year and in particular this seminar, through your efforts we are all able to come together without the boundaries of dojo, distance and aikido style to learn from sensei and each other.
To Goshinkan Dojo We would like to thank everyone at Goshinkan dojo for their efforts in hosting the seminar and the hospitality extended beyond the dojo. In addition to being able to have such a fantastic dojo to practice in, we have been fed, entertained, invited into homes and generally looked after. Finally to all seminar participants thankyou for travelling such enormous distances to train in the spirit of cooperation and learning by leaving behind the boundaries of rank, dojo and style. We look forward to growing in our aikido together in the years to come. |
