NOW IS THE TIME TO MAKE YOUR DESIRES KNOWN If you are interested in continued training possibilities after July. As Brandon Sensei prepares to move to Texas, most of the June classes will happen as they always have. July will be a month of diminishing training, as Sensei travels a lot. Every class hereafter is a fundraiser, and a final chance to ask for anything you want to practice. Please show your appreciation for Pay What You Can training and reward Brandon Sensei for refusing to quit for almost a decade by making a donation in person or via PayPal to [email protected]. Even better, set-up or continue your recurring donation to cast a vote firmly for a more peaceful world of Conflict Done Well. This would also be a vote for Brandon Sensei to continue teaching by releasing regular videos and study guides.
 
Questions before us:
  1. Will there continue to be a Golden Bears Aikido Club. That is entirely up to the UC students, staff, and faculty who have participated since 2009. Is there a yudansha (black belt) ready to show leadership on campus?
  2. Brandon Sensei will speak with Kayla Sensei this week about options for the future. For what would you like him to ask?
There will be a big goodbye party at Aikido of Berkeley, date TBA very soon. Please come and celebrate our time together. Please also sign up for Brandon Sensei's personal/professional email list at Culturesmith.com (using the email list box in the right menu) to hear what happens next.

Please remember: All Golden Bears Aikido classes are Free Aiki Dojo classes, and vice versa. We are a single training community. Brandon Sensei teaches all classes, unless otherwise noted, and also highly recommends (you are always welcome to train in) any class at Aikido of Berkeley. When you train in a class there taught by someone other than Brandon Sensei, please leave a $10-$15 donation in the wooden box on the cabinet near the front door.
