What a great day. All three Nova Scotia dojos were in attendance today at the Bushinkan's seminar. Many thanks to everyone who made the trip here.

A special thanks to Sensei Jamie Corlett for helping me teach. His understanding of Aikido and his excellent instruction made this a day to remember.

Have a great summer and I look forward to seeing you all on the mats soon
