The XV seminar was held in Moscow on November 04-08, 2010 and was dedicated to 15th anniversary of joint practice of Shoji SEKI shihan and Koinobori Dojo members.

We were very happy to have as seminar participants special guests from Japan: Mr. Masamichi MACHIDA (4 Dan), Mr. Ryo  TAKENAKA (4 Dan), Mr. Masaru FUKUZATO (3 Dan) Mr. Kenji MORI (3 Dan), Mr. Tatsuro KANEKO (3 Dan). The visit of the group of young aikidoists from Japan was organized by Japan-Russia Youth exchange centre and National Agency of Youth Affairs of Russian Federation.

The seminar program included the main part 8 classes under direction of Shoji SEKI shihan, as well as 2 master classes for Koinobori Dojo members, the Dan examination and demonstration made by Koinobori Dojo instructors and representatives of Koinobori Dojo regional branches from Russia and Lithuania.

The seminar was held in one of the largest judo dojos in Moscow – the Shabolovka sports complex.

Perfect organization of the seminar by Koinobori Dojo has allowed all the participants of the seminar, including numerous guests, to enjoy and simply drown in ineffable sprit of joint practice.
