This is the first piece of a series planned until October, when we will have the 2nd Tendo World Seminar. Each month we would like to give one dojo the chance to introduce itself.

In November 2011 Wakasensei went to Mexico for teaching his first own seminar. He told us about the warm reception and the enthusiasm for Tendoryu Aikido he felt there.

Rodrigo Velazquez tells us about how Tendoryu Mexico has been developing from its start.

The dates of the seminars with Shimizu Sensei at Herzogenhorn 2012 are now public: Week I, Week II.

The Kannon Onsen hotel is located in the South of the Izu Peninsular. Remote from everyday life, inmidst green mountains and equipped with a spacious dojo.

There - where we already had the 1st Tendo World Seminar 2009 - we want to practice together, savour Japanese food and relax in the hotel owned hot spring.

And to make it as easy as possible we offer you this seminar as a complete package.
