Etsunengeiko & New Year's Eve Party
2022-12-31 21:00 - 2023-01-01 21:00 UTC | Long Island Aikikai, 15 North Clinton Avenue, Bay Shore, NY, 11706, United States
The Long Island Aikikai is pleased to invite you to our annual – 57th, we think – Etsunengeiko and New Year’s Eve Party. Literally translated as “passing over to the new year in training,” Etsunengeiko is an opportunity for students to reflect on their past year’s practice and re-instill the ideals of the founder as they commit themselves to a new year of training. To that end every year, Hagihara Sensei will again led a class, held in Aikido founders image, from 11:30om New Year’s Eve till 12:30am New Year’s Day. However, in addition to Aikido, it is also a time to eat, drink (if that’s your thing), and be merry. Sleeping accommodations are available.

Join us this Friday, July 10th, right after class for movie night at the dojo! Class ends at 8pm, so we’ll get things started around 8:30. Weather permitting, we’ll set up outside in the backyard and project the film on a big screen under the stars—if not, we’ll move things indoors. We’ll most likely be screening a classic samurai flick, with snacks and drinks provided. Come relax, connect with fellow students, and enjoy the show!
