We are delighted to welcome Melissa Bell Sensei, chief instructor of Sarasota Aikikai, for our first seminar with her. Bell Sensei is a 6th degree black belt and has trained closely with master instructors Mitsugi Saotome, Hiroshi Ikeda, and Mary Heiny.
In addition to her aikido training, she holds a blackbelt in Shotokan Karate. She is highly skilled at both taijutsu and weapons training, striking a dynamic balance between sharp, powerful technique and soft connection.
Classes will be held on Saturday from 10am-noon and 2:30-4:30pm. Sunday class will go from 10am-1pm. The cost of the full seminar is $120.
