- Mary Heiny Seminar
-
We are delighted to announce a seminar with Mary Heiny Sensei August 9-11, 2013 at Aikido of Madison. Heiny Sensei has intensively studied aikido for more than 40 years leading her to a deep understanding of the power of this art. In this seminar she will explore with us the concept of: “Masakatsu Agatsu Katsuhayahi” a favorite expression of O Sensei. John Stevens (O Sensei’s biographer and writer on aikido) this as “true victory, self victory, day of swift victory.” Hikitsuchi Sensei shared with Heiny Sensei the instruction he had from O Sensei concerning this phrase: “Find your life’s mission, overcome the ego and experience victory that is beyond space and time.” We urge you to visit Heiny Sensei’s web site for more information about her history and teachings: http://maryheiny.com/
