The Wellington Grading dates are Saturdays 19 May and 17 November 2012.

Please remember, if you are planning to grade:

• Attend classes regularly.
• Sign the register (with your full name to avoid confusion).
• Make sure you have paid the annual Shinryukan membership fee of $40 for 2012.
• Grading application forms, fees and syllabus can be found on the Aikido Shinryukan New Zealand website resources section.

Where: 12 Kent Tce Dojo
When: 9:00am – 3:30pm
Bring:

• Your grading application form
• Cash to pay your grading and seminar fee, unless you’ve already paid by bank transfer
• Aikido Shinryukan annual membership form and payment if you haven’t done so already

Wow, what an amazing experience! 

I was happy to see so many of our club members face the stress and challenge of a grading seminar, and turn those nerves into good demonstrations of aikido. Some brave souls even dared to smile their way through the whole thing! 🙂

Despite my own nerves, and with generous support from Connie, we have a large set of images now available via Picasa. Should be open for everyone to see, so let me know if there are any issues.

Enjoy.  http://aikido-wgtn.co.nz/photovideo/
