is a recognition of our dojo (the space to learn the way). This Japanese tradition (mirror opening ceremony) has been adopted by traditional martial arts dojo to welcome in the new year and enjoy a time with our aiki family. It encompasses a variety of memorable activities, including specialized training, a recognition of our student’s accomplishments and sharing a light holiday feast (Kagami mochi). This annual event has been held between our 2 MWA locations and friendship hosts, such as Two Rivers Aikido Kalispell MT, for more than a decade.
To commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Livingston dojo, all students and their families/friends are invited to attend a Saturday mid-morning session lead by MWA’s head instructor, Tony Blomert.
