This is to announce that the IAF Congress that is normally held every four years will take place from September 26th till October 3rd, 2016
in Takasaki City, Gunma Prefecture, Japan. During the Congress we will also plan a week long Aikido seminar with Hombu Shihans, some key
overseas Shihans and a class with Ueshiba Moriteru Doshu. Please pencil in the dates in your calendar and we hope to see you in
Takasaki in the new arena built by the city. More details about the accommodation and logistics will become available as the
time approaches. Please re-post in your social media and websites about this important event.
