Aikido Victoria would like to congratulate and thank everyone from Tasmania for running Summer School 2024. It’s no small undertaking, and by all accounts, was a fantastic national school.
We also congratulate the following Victorian students on their dan gradings and promotions:
Borath En – shodan
Yusuke Sato – nidan
Ferran Barbena-Pous – nidan
Joe Giovinazzo Sensei – godan
and with the greatest pleasure:
Uncle Ray Oldman Shihan – nanadan
An official notice will be sent out shortly for our next Special Day of Training on Saturday February 3rd. It won’t just be a usual Reflections of Summer School, it will also be a celebration of Uncle Ray Sensei’s achievements, training, and his lifelong commitment to aikido. A social event (probably dinner at a local pub) will follow the training. More details to come, all are very welcome!
