To all Aikido Goshinkai HDI’s, Students and Friends,
 
You are invited to attend the 2019 Annual National Seminar hosted by Michael Williams Sensei, which will be held at the South Tweed Sports Club Auditorium on Saturday 19th and Sunday 20th October 2019. Additional Seminar workshops will be held on Monday 21st and Tuesday 22nd October.
 
Seminars provide us with the opportunity to renew our techniques by laying to rest the familiar, comfortable way we are used to doing things. There is a saying that “the enthusiasm of the beginner is the envy of the master”. Seminars give us all the chance to experience that state called “beginners mind” and to remain open to new concepts. Our Annual National Seminar is a excellent opportunity for all grades to participate and share their aikido experiences. It is especially beneficial for senior students of aikido to share their experiences and knowledge.
