Seminars

Intensive is limited to 20 students 3rd Kyu and above.  Pre-registration is required.  This is currently the only 4 day intensive offered by Ledyard Sensei in the Southeast.

The Aikido Eastside Randori and Weapons Intensives have been held every year for twenty years. In that time George Ledyard and the students of Aikido Eastside have developed a very systematic method for isolating the movement principles involved in handling multiple attackers as well taking an in depth look at the psychological components involved in Aikido which can hold one back from being able to optimize ones technique. The weapons training focuses on essential principles in the interaction between the two opponents / partners and connects the use of the weapons to the use of empty hand techniques in a way that should be of interest to any student of Aikido regardless of previous experience.

The standard Intensives are open to anyone of 3^rd Kyu or over (students should have adequate ukemi skills and at least a basic familiarity with sword and staff). They are limited to only 14 - 20 students (depending on the venue) so maximum attention from the teacher can be expected. This training is especially useful for students preparing for yudansha testing and instructors who are responsible for helping students prepare.
