Saturday Evening Celebration
Normally our seminar celebrations are fun but not as memorable as this one. May, who successfully tested for Shodan, did a belly dance to get everyone’s attention and presented Jerry with a “Weekend Aikido Survival Kit” of fun things, including a list of “Jerryisms”, to thank Jerry for helping her prepare for her test.
Everyone crowded in to watch
May did a belly dance
opening the Aikido Weekend Survival Kit backpack
Jerry received “useful” Aikido accoutrements
May presented Jerry with a Top Ten List of Jerryisms
If Jerry is on the mat, chances are you’ll hear him say one or more of these, whether he’s teaching or training!
