Adopt-A-Highway Trash Pickup Day

This Saturday, October 15th, North Texas Aikido will be earning its keep as the adoptive parents of our two-mile stretch of road with a trash pick up day.

Those of you who volunteer will be rewarded with the use of a stylish, blaze-orange safety vest and all the trash bags you can fill. We typically manage to stuff more than 30 "Dont Mess With Texas" large, white trash bags with the generous offerings drivers launch out their car windows while passing by our new home-to-be.

Bring gloves, water and something to pick up trash (nail on a stick, or a grabber-type thing you see on TV from time to time). Bug spray and sun screen aren't bad ideas, either.

We'll be getting started at 9:00am and should finish up around noon.

Summer Schedule Ends

Beginning Saturday, October 15th, North Texas Aikido will resume its standard schedule.
For the uninitiated, that simply means that we're no longer holding our Saturday weapons classes at 9:00am at Ford Park to beat the summer heat. Instead, they will resume in their usual 12:30-1:30pm time slot, followed by open workout at the dojo until the last person with a key needs to leave.
