Photos from the Aikido Demonstration at the Taste of Chicago 2010
Monday, July 5th, 2010
On June 29, the Japanese Culture Center participated in a demonstration at the Family Fun Stage at the annual Taste of Chicago. The event welcomed students in for the month-long Kenshusei training and the new uchidechi (live-in students). Members from the Lakeview and Burbank centers and Pathway to Harmony dojo made the demonstration a huge success.
