We are very excited to invite you to New Orleans (January 6-11) for a New Year’s seminar with Charles Colten Sensei!

Kagami Biraki: New Year’s Aikido training with sake-celebration and firepit-intention-setting during the Saturday evening pot-luck dinner and party.
Additional private sessions with Colten Sensei available (email: [email protected] to book.)
Charles Colten Sensei, 6th Dan Aikikai, Founder and Director of Aikido in the Schools, is a direct student
(deshi) to Endo Shihan and has also been greatly influenced by other mentors including Shihan(s) Jan Nevelius and Jorma Lyly and Sensei(s) Seigo Okamoto and Mary Heiny.
