Practicing with lots of different aikidoka will introduce you to endless nuances of this martial art, and it is always good to learn from other sensei

Terry EZRA shihan - Iron Balls Spheres training weekend

The Saturday session will be held at Ezra sensei's main dojo in Birkenhead. Cost is £20 (£15 concessions). If you have no idea what this "iron balls" thing is, and think it sounds a bit like an obscure Shaolin monk training practice, useful only for men... it's not!
You can download the course flyer, where you will noticed that the course title has sensibly been changed to "Iron Spheres"... :)
On Sunday, training will move to the Oval Sports Centre (CH63 7LF).
