Please join us in celebrating Hagihara Sensei’s promotion to the rank of 8th degree black belt. This historic honor was made possible by Yamada Sensei and is a real testament to Hagihara Sensei’s dedication to O-Sensei’s Aikido. On Saturday, March 18th, the Long Island Aikikai invites you to participate in this momentous occasion. The day will include demonstrations by various students and instructors, a class led by Hagihara Sensei, and then a catered dinner to commemorate the event. Sleeping accommodations are available for out of town guests.We hope you can make it!
