A Letter From Your Host,

Miles Kessler

Hello All,

I'm totally excited to be inviting you to this first of it’s kind online gathering of the GLOBAL AIKIDO TRIBE.

“Aikido At The Leading Edge” Tele-Summit was a 10-day online gathering of some of the Aikido world’s leading voices. I invite you to join me and learn from these inspiring men and women as they share their perspectives and vision of the art.

In my 30 plus years in Aikido it has always amazed me how when we come together as a community, and explore the art with a clear intention and an open heart, the wisdom of Aikido actually begins to speak through us. It is true that our teachers help us to tap into Aikido's wisdom. But for this wisdom to be expressed in the world, it is very clear that Aikido also needs us.

In my teaching travels, here in my home dojo, and in our online community, I am regularly approached by people who long to bring the Aikido community together in this higher purpose. Simply because we love to learn, to explore, and to practice TOGETHER.



There is an old African saying that says, “If you want to go fast, go alone. But if you want to go far, go together.” It is with this clear communal intention that I have envisioned this Tele-Summit.

Let’s walk this Path together and co-create "Aikido At The Leading Edge“

With Love,

Miles Kessler
