We are very excited to host Peter Bernath Sensei at the dojo on Saturday, September 10.  Classes will begin at 10:30 a.m. and continue throughout the day until 3:00 p.m.  The seminar is open to everyone, and of course we encourage your participation.

We will provide snacks between classes and are organizing an early dinner.  The cost for the seminar is $50.

Bernath Sensei is the chief instructor at Florida Aikikai.  He is a shichidan (7th degree black belt) and shihan (master instructor), both of which were awarded to him by Doshu Moriteru Ueshiba.  Bernath Sensei is also a member of the Technical Committee of the United States Aikido Federation, and holds a shodan in Iaido.

Before founding Florida Aikikai, Bernath Sensei was an instructor at New York Aikikai under Yamada Sensei. He has traveled and trained extensively throughout the world including Japan, and has studied under many of O-Sensei’s most famous disciples, including Kisshomaru and Moriteru Ueshiba, the second and third Doshu.

Bernath Sensei regularly teaches seminars throughout the United States, Canada, Latin America and Europe.  We’re thrilled he’s visiting us this year!
