Congrats to Patricia Hendricks Shihan and the Aikido of San Leandro Dōjō for this Anniversary of Dedication, Patience, Endurance, Hard Training, Teaching and Sharing .... 👏👏👏💐🥋🎂 She left her hometown for the Dōjō... Trainin' kihon every night and day ... Trainin' ... Trainin'... Trainin' in Iwama ... 🙇♂️
I did my best to capture even a fraction of the essence of an extraordinary Aikido weekend, brimming with community spirit, shared milestones, and decades of dedication to teaching and martial arts. A heartfelt Arigatou Gozaimashita to everyone involved for their enduring commitment and the positive impact they've made on Aikido, their dojos, and their students. Our community is truly inspiring!
The weekend of February 24 and 25, 2024, wasn't just any weekend. It marked the 40th anniversary of Aikido of San Leandro and Patricia Hendricks Shihan's golden anniversary--50 years--in Aikido. What a joy it was to be there as a participant and as member of this wonderful community coming together to celebrate the journey, the connections, the teachings. This video captures not just the events of the weekend but the feelings and emotions, too. To Hendricks Shihan for these remarkable milestones and for sharing her talent and understanding with students around the world, and to my teacher, Andrew Blevins Sensei, for his Rokudan demonstration and the decades of training that preceded this moment, Omedetou gozaimashita.
