The Academy Hosts Successful “Slice of Connecticut” Aikido Seminar

Manchester, CT - The Academy, the area’s premier center for Fitness, Defense, and Empowerment, proudly hosted the Slice of Connecticut Aikido Seminar on Saturday, October 18, 2025, drawing more than 40 Aikido students from across the region for a full day of training, growth, and connection.

The seminar, held from 11:30 AM to 4:00 PM, brought together practitioners of all ranks to share techniques, refine skills, and deepen their understanding of Aikido’s core principles of harmony, balance, and movement. The energy and enthusiasm on the mat reflected the strong sense of community and dedication that continues to define Connecticut’s Aikido practitioners.

“The event was a great success,” said Grandmaster Joel Waldron, Director of The Academy. “It was inspiring to see so many students learning from each other, and continuing the tradition of Aikido in a supportive and spirited environment.”
