Clinic Report: The Aikido for Horsemen clinic that was held in Campton on Jan 16-18 was a HUGE success! 13 participants enjoyed the hospitality of our hosts, Sue and Bill Fallon, and the lively instruction of Mark and Crissi for 3 days of remarkable learning experiences. Bill, a black belt in Karate, opened his private Dojo to the group and participated himself in the clinic. His experience and presence was a welcome addition to the clinic.
Though challenging at times, Mark and Crissi never presented any task to us that was too difficult. Everyone was able to perform and enjoy the exercises that Mark and Crissi taught and demonstrated to the participants. One of the most interesting things we learned was a "Horseman's Kata" that Mark and Crissi have developed. It is a truly unique Kata that is especially for horsemen! It is like a dance for human and horse!
Every one left on Sunday feeling empowered and excited at the prospect of applying some of what we learned to our horsemanship. We are ALL looking forward to the next opportunity to work with Mark and Crissi in the Dojo again! Kudos to everyone who worked so hard and accomplished SO much in just 3 days!
