Our connection to the past shines through to the present. Aikido pioneers George Wilson, Doc Walker, Yoshimitsu Yamada, Koichi Tohei, gave us foundations that have led to 57 years of continuous practice at Sand Drift Aikido Dojo. This photo, from our archives, is from Titusville, Florida, in the mid 1960’s. We’ll honor their gifts to us with a day of training and fellowship at the Celebrating Aikido Seminar at our Dojo on Saturday, June 27th. hope to see you there!
