Greg Angus Sensei, 6th Dan Aikikai, is the chief instructor at Naka Ima Aikikai in Toronto, Canada.  Greg Sensei has practiced martial arts for over 45 years and is also a 4th Dan in karate. He practiced Aikido for 10 years in Japan, primarily under the direction of Endo Shihan, for whom he is also a deshi. Greg Sensei hosts an annual Aikido seminar conducted by his teacher in Toronto, with participants attending from all over North America. Off the mat, Greg Sensei works as an artist whose paintings have been exhibited both locally and internationally. His seminars emphasize connection, relaxation, heaviness, and sharpness.

Class Description: 

This class will take an in-depth look at atemi (striking) and its relevance in Aikido.

Basic methods of atemi including hand positions, posture, stance, distance and timing will be explored.

A short sequence will allow the participants to investigate for themselves hard and soft movements as well as sharpness and fluidity when the body is in motion.

Wear comfortable clothing you can easily move in.

Beginners are warmly welcome.
