New Dojo at Budeasa

On the 05.04.2009 the official opening of Budeasa Dojo in  the town of Budeasa was held, which is part of the Aikikai Pitesti in rural areas project.This led to the fact that Aikido Aikikai Association in Pitesti has now 4 Dojo's, this being possible through special effort made by Sensei Rafael Udeanu and other members of the association.
At the opening of Dojo-Budeasa we had and surprises in the sense that the manager of the complex  swiched programming and the training hall was occupied by a Kendo competition, we were forced to move the tatami outside on the grass, which didn't prevented us from having a numberous public in which were also practitioners of Kendo.
Training takes place on Mondays and Wednesday from 18-20, under the leadership of Sensei Rafael Udeanu in the wrestling room in the Olympic Complex Budeasa (where in February the seminary with Sensei Augustino Pagano took place), the first training was held on the 06.04.2009, where there were 54 people, which required to share them in  groups of children and adults.
I hope you enjoy these news from Arges and I hope to see you at the seminary in Sovata.
