Saturday's Aikido class at the 12th Street Dojo in Sarasota, was dynamic and inspiring. We are very fortunate to have such a talented and skilled martial artist, such as Mitsugi Saotome Shihan, devote his energy and time into our Dojo and students. We are very grateful to Saotome Shihan for this opportunity and the students who help prepare the dojo for his continuous visits!

On Saturday August 2nd, David passed his 5th Kyu examination and has been promoted to his second rank in Aikido! Please be sure to congratulate him on his hard work! Great job, David!
