In front of the temple is great place for weapons practice.
From March to May of 2007, Nippon Kan Assistant Instructor and graduate uchideshi John Grotrian was sent to Kathmandu, Nepal to teach beginning Aikido to students in the newly formed Nepal Aikido Club. On May 2nd, John returned to Nippon Kan Headquarters in Denver for a rest, training, and to discuss future plans for the Nepal Aikido Club with Homma Kancho. While in Denver, John trained intensively to develop both technical and teaching skills.
Happy students and Instructor John.
Practice in Kathmandu, Nepal.
On July 17th, John returned officially to Nepal to continue his teaching for a second term. This second term was sponsored by AHAN Nippon Kan General Headquarters Developing Nations Division.
