1st Anniversary "1st Middle East Yoshinkan Aikido Seminar"
At last, the very first Yoshinkan Aikido Seminar in the Middle East has finally come to an end. November 3, 2009 was our 1st year anniversary and Sponsored by Society Aikido Yoshinkai and with the Help of the members we have requested the presence of our very own Honbu Dojo (Head Quarters) Master. Visitors and members enjoyed their first taste of Honbu training. It was really a very memorable event. We are gratified to see one of the most important person of the Yoshinkan Aikido Foundation teaching us the updates of the most important key to Aikido training.It is our greatest pride that one of our founder member SHIHAN-DAI ROMEO BALLARES coming straight from Japan visited us here in Jeddah Saudi Arabia four (4) days after his demonstration on the 54th Yoshinkan Aikido Embutaikai held yearly in Japan. The complete 8 days (14 hours) training plus off the mat advance training of Sensei Sharif were documented and will be taught to future members of the elite Yoshinkan Aikido of Saudi Arabia.
A very special thanks
to Sensei Romeo Ballares for the complimentary souvenir Embutaikai T-Shirts, lots
of Posters
for the Dojo, Yoshinkan Honbu DVD's, The Art of Peace pocket book and best of all
original Honbu Dogi given
to Sensei Sharif and founder member Hattan Ghurab.
A very Special thanks also all the support of our members who painstakingly participated in this very informative 8 days training seminar, to Masters Training Center for the great paper works they have done and to Diners 66 restaurant who offered 10 days of complimentary diner and snacks for our Shihan-Dai. Also for our lunch thanks to China Gate restaurant, La Paz Batchoy restaurant, Wajba restaurant, Al Waqza Restaurant, Bouhayrat restaurant, Jeddah Laundry Center for properly preparing our Dogi's, and Layali Suites for arranging their best room for our Shihan-Dai. Without their contribution the Seminar would not have been successful...
