Kagami Biraki is one of the most meaningful traditions in the Aikido world — a ceremonial “opening of the mirror” that symbolizes renewal, clarity, and the start of a new year of sincere training. We’re teaming up again with Greater Hartford Aikikai who has invited us to come together in shared spirit, reconnect with purpose, and recommit to growth on and off the mat. Training side by side during Kagami Biraki isn’t just physical practice; it’s a reaffirmation of community, lineage, and the values that carry us forward. The seminar, followed by fellowship and a shared meal, gives everyone a chance to refresh their mindset, honor our teachers, and step confidently into the year with unity and intention.
