Southern California Ki Society Fall Seminar 2017 was held on December 9th and 10th at Torrance Cultural Arts Center. People who practice Ki-Aikido in Torrance, Santa Barbara, Las Vegas and Seattle dojos attended to the seminar.
We practiced and learned Aikido principles and a wide variety of Aikido techniques under the instruction of Clarence Chinn Sensei, Chief Instructor of So Cal Ki Society, and Susan Grigsby Sensei, Head Instructor of Seattle Ki-Aikido.
Many of the teachings were came from the Japan camp, which held in October in this year. 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. Also we all enjoyed the delicious sushi lunch at the Cultural Arts Center courtyard, Pine Wind Japanese Garden. Special thanks to Paul Krumholz for helping to prepare the lunches and to take care the registration.
This is officially the last seminar for Chinn Sensei to give us his teaching as Torrance Head Instructor due to his retirement from the position. From next year, Chinn Sensei will be the adviser and Chief Instructor of So Cal Ki Society. Thank you Chinn Sensei !
