I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Doshu Moriteru Ueshiba for awarding me the title of Shihan.
I sincerely thank all my teachers, and in particular Michel Erb Shihan, my Aikido instructor for more than 40 years, for their transmission and their high standards.
I am also deeply grateful to my training partners: every exchange on the tatami has enriched my journey and contributed to my progress.
My thanks also go to all the aikidoka at my dojo in Berlin, for their commitment, energy, and spirit of sharing in daily practice.
This honour commits me to continuing to transmit Aikido with respect and sincerity, in the spirit of the Ueshiba family.
Thank you all!
