FIVE DAYS of AIKIDO

What a great way to get a taste of training with the Saint Louis Ki Society...come to class 5 days in a row!
Saturday, June 1^st to Wednesday, June 5^th.

New students are invited to come to classes starting on Saturday, June 1^st. Then come to class on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. All for only $25. The classes will be at our regular class-times. Regular students with various levels of experience will be there to help you make the most of the 5 days.

The classes will be a mix of current and new students. The focus for the teachers and current students will be to help new students get the best possible feel for Ki-Aikido training in 5 days. Don't worry if you have to miss one of the classes. We'll get you through the training and help you keep up. If you can't make the first class on Saturday, starting on Sunday is acceptable. You may also attend the Dynamic Meditation class after the Monday Aikido class (8 to 9 pm).

Register as described above. You can also register and pay at your first class, but come at least 15 minutes early.

Class times:

• Saturday 10:30-Noon
• Sunday 10:30-Noon
• Monday 6:30 to 7:45pm (and Dynamic Meditation class 8:00 to 9pm)
• Tuesday 7:15 to 8:45pm
• Wednesday 6:30 to 8pm

Saturday night after testing we will have dinner at Boogaloo in Maplewood. We'll need to get a count on the number of people, and plan to get the patio out back. Get your name on the list at the dojo by Saturday before testing.
