Frank Doran Sensei
November 20, 1932 – November 3, 2026

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Frank Doran Sensei on November 3, 2026. He was at home, at peace, in the presence of his beloved wife and family.

He was more than just our founder or teacher. He was family. He left the world a better place having been here.

Information about public memorial services will be available in the coming weeks. Please respect his family’s need for privacy at this time.

You can direct messages to Aikido West via email at [email protected]

Aikido and Zen, five days at Crestone Mountain Zen Center — Sept 23–27, with Tres Hofmeister Shihan and Seishin Laurie Nusbaum.

This year's theme is shizentai, the natural body: that balanced uprightness which reveals our inherent capacity for unselfconscious responsiveness. How are the physical and mental postures of shizentai and zazen alike? How do they manifest in our activity?

$395, including lodging and meals. Prior aikido or martial arts experience recommended; meditation experience welcome but not necessary.
