Sporting events

Join Seed Studio and Durango Aikido for this free kids' event! When fine art and martial arts combine, kids train their whole beings -- mind, body, and heart!   The Samurai class of medieval Japan believed that the best training served a person's whole being. A typical warrior studied martial arts and weapons, as well as poetry, painting, fine arts, history, philosophy, and so much more. When combined, these disciplines train us to focus, breathe, and be present. They promote the health and well-being of our whole selves.   Kids ages 8 and up are invited to experience the benefits of training their minds, bodies, and hearts at this one-day workshop combining the fine arts with martial arts.

Kids ages 8 and up will learn a nonviolent approach to dealing with conflicts and bullying. They will practice fundamental movements, exercises, and Aikido techniques. Throughout the series, kids will get to experience what it feels like to blend with an attack or a problem in order to move skillfully and resolve the issue. Participants will also develop mindfulness habits through meditative breathing practice. They will learn how to handle the bokken (sword) and jo (short staff) to improve their physical coordination. Expect plenty of fun games, too.   When kids train in Aikido, they come away with greater confidence, balance, coordination, and focus.

Come play some chess! Every Monday night 6:30-9 p.m. upstairs in the Durango mall on Main St.   Free!  Drop in!

The annual Aztec Highland Games & Celtic Festival will be taking place along the Animas River in shady Riverside Park in Aztec, NM. This family-friendly cultural event will bring a taste of the Scottish Highlands to the southwest featuring the heavy Celtic athletic competitions, Highland dance competitions, bag pipe band exhibitions, live Celtic music, vendors, and Clan tents. It's definitely worth the trip - because where else can you eat authentic haggis (Scottish national food) and fry bread on the same day?   This event has all the tastes of Scotland and the British Isles you may be craving but in our beautiful New Mexico sunshine!   For the Celtic music fans out there, Big Paddy, hailing from Denver, will be headlining the music festival portion, and we are proud to host several other bands as well. For the sports fans, come watch the heavy Celtic athletic competitions featuring the caber toss (you know, where they throw telephone poles), the Braemar Stone (like it sounds, they throw big rocks), and other feats of strength and agility. And for those that like knees, come for the kilts! Tickets are $20 for the weekend, kids under 12 are free. Student/military/senior discounts are available, and Volunteers are free!    Leashed dogs are welcome. Buy tickets online or at the gate. For more information visit our website

Pictures or images are etched into wood (or in this case, easy-to-carve Styrofoam). Ink is rolled over the image and then the "wood block" is pressed onto paper.   For the martial training, participants will explore the basic concepts of of Aikido's non-violent approach to self-defense. They will also learn some fundamental bokken (sword) and jo (staff) exercises to train coordination and focus.
