This year's seminar with Daniel Linden Sensei (6. Dan Aikikai) in Rodgau was again a great success. It drew participants from Holland, Sweden, USA, and of course from various cities in Germany.

Sensei's teaching this year built on the principles as laid out in his book "On Mastering Aikido", but was extended this year to their application in Tanto Waza (nage has the knife) and in dealing with two or more attackers. With many black belts on the mat, this years seminar was very spirited and a great learning experience, even for the students who were quite new to Aikido. Saturday night, Andreas Lopp from the Rodgau dojo passed his Shodan test with flying colors. The evening was concluded with a big party in the dojo - including a lot of great music with Sensei, Andy(Wilby and Curtis Ihlefeld at the guitar(s).
