To All Aikido Practitioners,

Aikido Nippon Kan’s Annual Marathon Practice is just around a corner and it will take place in the month of August 2019. The annual event is AHAN Nippon Kan’s charity event, this year from August 3 to August 31, where I will be practicing with everybody every day.

Please check out AHAN activities in the U.S. and abroad on Nippon Kan’s Facebook page.

Even if you are not a Nippon Kan regular member, anybody is welcome to participate in the Aikido Nippon Kan’s summer practice event.

During the Marathon Practice, special ‘keiko’ sessions will be offered, such as…: • A ‘keiko’ seminar by Hitohira Saito Sensei, the Founder of Dento Iwama-Ryu

Shinshin Aiki Shurenkai o Additional registration and a seminar fee are needed o Click the link to the registration form for the Saito Seminar ! http://

• Stephanie Yap Sensei of Aikido of South Florida & a 7Th Dan of the Dento Iwama-Ryu Shinshin Aiki Shurenkai, one of the world’s top female Aikido instructors will be teaching classes for no additional fee for registered Marathon Practice participants;

• Koichi Ninomiya Sensei of International Karate-Do Enshin Kaikan Headquarters will offer Karate lessons for no additional fee for registered Marathon Practice participants.

Additionally, 16 Nepalese Army Special Forces Aikido Instructor Candidates (10 males & 6 females), led by Dan Gurung Lead Instructor, will be participating in this year’s Marathon Practice Seminar to practice with us.

It’s worth noting that most of the trainees from Nepal are to be assigned to support the United Nations Peacekeeping Operations, and they have been dispatched to Aikido Nippon Kan by the Nepalese Military with valid travel visas that are issued by the U.S. Embassy in Nepal to learn not only Aikido techniques, but also Aikido Nippon Kan’s teaching philosophy as well as to broaden their experiences and perspectives through the training and various sub-programs during their stay in the U.S. to become better peacekeeping agents.

A list of classes that I will be teaching is as listed below. Classes during the 2019 Marathon Practice Seminar serve as “Souran (総覧)”, i.e. a series of opportunities to observe and assess students’ progress in the practice of Aikido for a promotion. In other words, the 2019 Marathon Practice Seminar is an Aikido Nippon Kan’s traditional way to assess students’ skill levels for a promotion especially when Aikido Nippon Kan does not utilize exams to evaluate and judge students to be promoted to the next level.

While regular classes are offered during the 2019 Marathon Practice Seminar, one’s attendance to regular classes during the Seminar will not be a substitute for attending any Seminar class session.
