Celebrating Aikdo Seminar June 21, 2025
We are pleased to announce a Seminar on June 21st, 2025 at the Sand Drift Aikido Martial Arts Center Dojo. We're honored to have Shihans Peter Bernath, Penny Bernath, Grady Lane, and Shidoin Randy Beck as instructors for a day of training and fellowship.
We invite Aikidoka to join us for this opportunity to spend a day with these master instructors who travel the world presenting the Art. Training will start at 11:00 AM with four one-hour classes. Sand Drift Aikido is well known for its celebrations and we'll continue the tradition for this event. A Feast, with creations by our famous chefs, will be served after the last class, we'll have time to gather, replenish, and swap stories with our fellow Martial Artists. Please see the attached flyer for more details.
