Welcome to Hikari Dojo

Traditional Aikido and Yoga
Reverend Louis Jumonville, Shihan 6th Dan

International Aikido Federation (IAF) Training in Tokyo

The IAF is an organization supporting Aikido around the world (88 member countries). Every four years they have a meeting and training. A number of people from the our association (the California Aikido Association—CAA) participated in this event in October 2024. On the last day, countries had the chance to show their Aikido. Sensei was part of the embukai (special demo) done by Sensei Patricia Hendricks (our CAA Division Head). Here are a couple of photos of Sensei taking high falls in that demo and a video of the entire demo. (you don’t need to log into FaceBook to see it).

Congratulations to Bridget Bogan. Excellent fourth kyu test!
