About This Event

Members of Alfred Aikido and Musubi Aikido of Potsdam will demonstrate aikido in action led by Dr. Leslie Russek Sensei (6th Dan) and Dr. Joshua Thomas (2nd Dan). Come watch beginners and black belts demonstration this beautiful martial art.

Aikido is a martial art, and translates to roughly “the way of way of harmony with universal energy.” Aikido seeks to resolve conflict in a non-destructive way.

If you’re interested after the demo, there will be a sign-up sheet for a beginner’s class to be held at a future date.

The event is at the Alfred Village Hall, 7 West University Street. Come in the court entrance and go upstairs to the theater.
