Introduction to Sword Handling
Wednesdays, 7:30pm
February 4-25, 2015
(Four sessions)
Multnomah Aikikai members participate free.
Series open to the public: $60
Make your body like a blade!
Use your te-gatana.
Enter and cut!
In your Aikido practice, embody the principle of the sword.
The sword is ever present in Aikido practice. Yet, how many of us have familiarity with using a sword? Basic sword handling will enliven your Aikido practice. This series is open to all members for no additional charge. Know someone interested in sword? The public is welcome for a fee. The series of four classes build on each other. For this reason, commitment to the series is advised.
Participants may use wooden bokken for this introduction. If you do not have your own equipment, the dojo has a limited number of bokken available for use during class. Please preregister by January 31.
This class runs concurrent with our regular Iaido class, led by Van Amburgh Sensei. Basic sword handling skills will be introduced based on the Japanese art of Iaido. Partner exercises may include Aikido weapons forms.
Multnomah Aikikai, 6415 SW Macadam Ave, Portland OR 97239
