Nintei Kosu 2026 and family. Nothing is better than reconnecting with friends you've known for years, decades, and even making new buddies. That's why Aikido is so dope. Man, this weekend was so cool, and we all had a *blast* throwing down at Kiku Matsu Dojo with the AWA crew. Love you guys so much!! Can't wait for next time!! Thanks for everything Sato Sensei and 🫶🙏🙇♂️💙

This past year of 2025 brought so many beautiful memories to the Dojo. Connections made, friendships nourished, seminars travelled, time and dedication put in. Growth, both on and off the mat. The GLA Aikido crew and the AWA family are an unwavering familiarity based on respect, humility, generosity, and love. Happy New Year, and may 2026 be the start to another year of profound connection and warmth. Thank you for walking the Aiki path with me. I am forever grateful, and I love you all. -Jeremy ML Hix-
