Zen and Aikido Classes
November 10th, 11th
Albuquerque Zen Center and Both Hands Clapping Aikido have partnered in offering traditional Zen practice integrated into the modern self-defense art of Aikido. For all Both Hands Clapping classes, a discounted rate is available to every currently active AZC member and a portion of all non-members dues are shared with the Zen center.
The Both Hands Clapping winter session Zen and Aikido classes will be starting the week of November 10th, and they are now accepting enrollments. Classes are set up in 13 week blocks, and so they only accept new students 4 times a year (spring, summer, fall, winter).
The winter Zen and Aikido class will feature the classic Aikido attack called 'kata-tori' (shoulder grab). The shoulder grab is a particularly good one for new and newer students in that it allows the defender a bit more time to react and still be able to execute all the classic Aikido throws. Aikido training is suitable for active men and women of all ages, to include mature teens.
There is a noon class and an evening class. It looks like there may be only 6 or 7 slots available in the evening session and they anticipate that that class will fill up completely. As always, the noon session will be wide open. You can follow this link for more info. Enrollment will be first-come, first-served and you can follow this link.

We are always looking for short articles and first-person stories, from both AZC members and non-members alike. (700 words, plus or minus would be great - please include pictures if you can.) Please send to Jim Redel.
Got a favorite AZC photo? We'd be happy to include it.Please send to Jim Redel.
 We are now registered with the Amazon Smile programs, where they will donate a percentage of certain purchases to AZC. Please consider this the next time you shop at Amazon.(You can clock on the image to check it out.)
At AZC, we depend entirely upon the donations of our sangha members and the support of those who strive, as we do, to help others see their worlds a bit more clearly. If you've found a photo or link or article that you feel may help to inspire others, we welcome your support.
