If desired, introductions to basic falling methods are done safely, comfortably and at each individual's personal pace.

All of our aikido classes are adaptable for beginners and cover everything that the new student needs to start safe, comfortable and effective Aikido practice including: Dojo Etiquette & Terminology, Warm-ups & Exercises, Breathing & Posture, Basic Movement & Blending, Basic Falling & Basic Techniques.Beginners are always helped at their own pace and comfort level.
 

2008 Helping Hands Seminar a Great Success!

Our second ACNJ Helping Hands Benefit Seminar raised $2800.00 for Homeless Solutions and made it possible to send homeless children to summer camp.

Thanks to all the senior ACNJ yudansha instructors who led the day's classes including Sensei O'Connor along with Tim Vazquez ACNJ (Manasquan dojo-cho), Paul Manogue (ACNJ Hillsborough dojo-cho) and Lawrence Holmes (ACNJ Summit dojo-cho) and thanks to all the participants and pot luck providers.

Special thanks again to Michael Schneider for all the "pr" work he contributed with press releases, in contacting newspapers, radio and TV stations.

Great job to everyone!

2007 Helping Hands Seminar a Great Success!

(Our next Helping Hands Benefit Seminar is scheduled for April 5, 2008 and will benefit Homeless Solutions)

Our first ACNJ Helping Hands Benefit Seminar on Saturday, June 23, 2007 was a wonderful success. It was a quite a full day of training, fun and food - and all for a good cause and a great excuse to get together. It was an impressive turnout and so far we've raised close to $2500.00 for the Joseph E. Enright Foundation. Thanks to all of you who were able to participate and for your generous donations.

Thanks to all the senior ACNJ yudansha instructors who led the day's classes - Don, David, Lawrence, Brian, Paul, Scott, Robert, John, Tim, Jeff, Ginny and Mary Kay. It was especially gratifying for me to be able to see and participate in all of your great classes. What a great celebration of the talent and variety we have within ACNJ. Great job!

Thanks also to all the pot luck providers. Great stuff and variety for all palettes. No one went home hungry or thirsty that's for sure!

Special thanks to Michael Schneider for all the "pr" work he contributed with press releases, in contacting newspapers, radio and TV stations*. His professionalism went a long way to benefit both the dojo and the Enright Foundation. Thanks Mike!

I'll join you in looking forward to having the same great time - for another worthy charity - at our next Helping Hands seminar.

Thank you all for everything.
Greg
