Since our shutdown due to the Covid-19 the Daily Dose has been created daily by our Chief Instructor, Greg O'Connor, 7th Dan Aikikai, to to keep us connected and positive during this new challenge.
It contains moments of calming nature, Aikido training videos for in-home-training and historic inspiration, and a wide variety of music, humor and thought-provoking quotes.
