Go Women ❤️ and Jamie 🌺

The following weekend has several beautiful Aikido events throughout the world. One of them is the Birthday Bash Seminar, celebrating Aldrich Sensei’s birthday milestone.

The trainings will be conducted by:
Angel Walker Murphy Sensei (Shidoin, 5th Dan) is the Chief Instructor of Alamo Area Aikikai in San Antonio, Texas. She has been studying Aikido for three decades.
Jaime Kahn Sensei (Shidoin, 6th Dan) of the New York Aikikai is presented by the host as incredibly talented, most humble and a very supportive person.
Crystal Aldrich Sensei (Fukushidoin, 4th Dan) is the Birthday Girl, Chief Instructor and Owner of the dojo hosting this event.

The event is going to be in Waterford, Connecticut, about 30 minutes from the Rhode Island border, equidistant from New York and Boston, about a 2-2.5 hour ride.
