I know that they have white uniforms and they have about 8 different colored belts. They teach a little kid class, an older kid class and an adult class. They sometimes also use the Dojo for playing music and square dances and other things. The Dojo is not yet complete; they still have to add a few things. You have to bow to the front of the scroll to show respect in the Dojo. Roland and Marcia demonstrated some sword fighting. They call the Dojo 'White Pines' because there are a lot of white pine trees around and the white pine trees are almost all gone. Ai means harmony and Ki means energy and Do means the path. I know that Roland first discovered Aikido when his friend told him about it. He started to take lessons in Nelson and once he got good enough at Aikido he started to teach people Aikido, but first he had to build a Dojo.
We had a lot of fun and learned a lot at the White Pines Dojo! Thanks Roland and Marcia!

Roland and Marcia Werner teach aikido. They named the place because there are quit a bit of white pines there and most of the white pines are supposed to be almost gone. They teach allot of classes; from like, two to adults, but they separate them in different classes. When you come in, you have to bow to the shaman (scroll), and then you have to bow to your partner by sitting down before you start. Some of the moves where based on using a sword. If you don't have one, use your arms like you have one. I also know that Roland learned about aikido in Nelson when his friend told him. He also told us that Ai means harmony, Ki means energy and do means the path.
