Bob Caron Sensei Bob Caron Sensei (4th Dan) has been integrating the practices of Aikido and Zen for 20 years. His original teacher, Ed Haupt Sensei, forced him to do zazen if he wanted to learn Aikido. Caron Sensei accepted this and suffered for 10 years in his Zen practice before beginning his Zen training with Whitelaw Roshi. After much practice and insight, he now sees his Zen practice as integral to his Aikido training and the value of the concurrent practices that Haupt Sensei demanded is now clear. In this seminar, Caron Sensei and Whitelaw Roshi will attempt to make those connections more clear for all levels of practitioner. www.zenshinkan.com [email protected] 508.799.9106 65 water st. - worcester, ma 1 Zenshinkan Dojo ZenZAS and Aikido Seminar with Ginny Whitelaw Roshi and Bob Caron Sensei Seminar Fees - September 26TH - 28TH Please register me for the seminar; I plan to attend the following dates: ____Friday ($60) / ____Saturday ($80) / ____Sunday ($60) / ___Entire Seminar ($120) Make checks payable to: "Zenshinkan", 65 Water Street / Worcester, MA 01604 - Credit cards also accepted (MC / VISA) Card Number: ______________________________Expiration Date: ___________3-Digit Code:_________ Authorized Signature: _________________________________________________________________________________ Registration Information Name: ______________________________________________________________ Today’s Date: _____________________ Mailing Address: ______________________________________________________Phone: _________________________ City, State Zip: ________________________________________________________________________________________ Email: ___________________________________________________________ / _____ Please add me to your email list!
