Aikibojitsu:  Upcoming Events - 2010
Aikibojitsu Wilderness Training - Tentative Schedule for July 8 - 11, 2010

Wilderness Training is special backpacking-oriented training that takes place in a wilderness setting.  
Participants backpack in, bringing their own food, tents, everything needed to survive in the wilderness.  
Wilderness Training usually takes place in the summer, although we have had Winter training seminars on the
coast.  Recent Wilderness Training trips have taken place at Grizzley Lake in Northern California, Caribou
Lakes in Northern California, and Canyon Creek Lakes in Northern California.  Typical cost $275.00 for the
weekend.

The projected date for Aikibojitsu Wilderness Training in 2010 is July 8 - 11. Contact the
Aikibojitsu
Organzation
as soon as possible if you wish to attend, as space is very limited.
Volcano Shugyo
Volcano Shugyo is special training that takes place in the vicinity of a volcano.  It is usually (but not always) a
car-camping trip, as opposed to the Wilderness Training which generally involves backpacking.  If conditions
permit, participants often climb to the summit.  In the past few years, we've gone to Mt. Lassen, California, Mt.
Shasta, Calilfornia, Diamond Lake, Oregon, and Mt. Fuji, Japan.  Typical cost $235.00 for the weekend.

Projected date in 2010 has not yet been chosen.
11th Annual Instructors' Conference - Tentative Schedule for May 28-30 or June 4-6 2010

The Instructors' Conference is held each year to provide advanced instruction in Aikibojitsu on both theoretical
and technical levels, and to provide a forum for licensed instructors to discuss issues related to the teaching of
Aikibojitsu as an art form.

Th
is year's Instructor's Conference is tentatively scheduled for the weekend of May 28 - 30, or June 4 - 6, 2010.

This year the seminar will focus upon how to base formal classes on the current set of Instructional Videos. The
conference will focus
in particular on participants' proficiency in The Fire and Mirror Katas. Other areas of work
will be based upon
participants' requests.

In addition to training, the seminar will involve discussions of several central Aikibojitsu concepts. Among them:

  • Transparency
  • Non-Resistant Ground
  • Asymptotic Channels and Surfaces

Attendance at an Aikibojitsu Instructors' Conference is usually limited to those holding an Instructor license in
Aikibojitsu, but others may be accepted on a case to case basis upon request. Interested practitioners should
contact the Aikibojitsu Organization as soon as possible.

There is no fee for the Conference itself, but a donation is respectfully requested  Donations for the Instructor
Conference go toward future construction of the Pacific Northwest Aiki Retreat Center.

For more information regarding the Conference, or to register for the Aikibojitsu Instructor Program, please

Aikibojitsu Organization.
