Southern California Ki Society Fall Seminar 2018 was held on November 17th and 18th at Torrance Cultural Arts Center. In this seminar, not only people from Southern California like Torrance and Santa Barbara, but also from Las Vegas, Berkeley, Seattle and Houston dojos who practice Ki-Aikido attended.
We practiced and learned Aikido principles and a wide variety of Aikido techniques under the instruction of Clarence Chinn Sensei. The teaching during the seminar helped us to improve our techniques but also to understand important principles of Ki-Aikido.
The two days seminar (8:30AM to 4:00PM) included morning and afternoon seminars on both days with delicious bento box lunch at the Cultural Arts Center courtyard, Pine Wind Japanese Garden. Also we all enjoyed the dinar at China Buffet restaurant at Saturday evening.
Thank you for all attendees especially people from other cities and states, Susan Grigsby sensei from Seattle Ki Aikido, Don Bannai sensei from Las Vegas, Alex Korn sensei from Addison Street Ki Aikido, Colin Li Pi Shan sensei from Houston Ki Aikido, and special thanks for Chinn sensei!
