What a fantastic seminar weekend at OC Aikido!

We were thrilled to welcome Lia Suzuki Shihan (7th Dan) for three days of training, learning, and connection on the mat. Her teaching always brings incredible insight, clarity, and energy, and it’s truly a joy to learn from her each time she visits. 🙏🏻

It also felt especially meaningful that the final day of the seminar fell on International Women’s Day. Having such an accomplished female Shihan leading the mat was a wonderful reminder that Aikido is truly for everyone.

One of the things that made this weekend special was seeing our community together - women, men, and kids all training side by side. At OC Aikido we’re proud to be The Family Dojo, where families and students of all ages can grow together through practice.

Thank you to everyone who came out to train and helped make the seminar such a wonderful experience!
