It is with sad regret that we have to cancel The David Goldberg seminar, To Ni To, at Aikido Nanzan Dojo scheduled this weekend Feb 1-3, 2019. The severe weather has resulted in cancellation of his flight and therefore our seminar. We will be scheduling for a future date. We will keep you informed.

The positive news is that William Gleason Sensei will be here at Aikido Nanzan Dojo Mark 29-31. I will post more on that soon. Please come and join us for that.

Best regards, train diligently, see you all on the mat.

William Gleason Shihan, the founder of Shobu Aikido, studied Aikido from 1970 to 1980 at the main world headquarters under Seigo Yamaguchi Sensei, one of the most gifted students of the founder. Gleason Sensei studied swordsmanship (kenjutsu) as well as Japanese language, classical music, and Eastern religion. Since 1985 Gleason Sensei has continued to practice and teach under the auspices of Mitsugi Saotome Shihan and the Aikido Schools of Ueshiba. His latest book is Aikido and Words of Power: The Sacred Sounds of the Kototama. He is also the author of The Spiritual Foundations of Aikido, which has been translated into four languages.
His first DVD, Aikido and Japanese Sword, shows how the movements in traditional swordwork and those in Aikido barehanded techniques are essentially one and the same. His second, William Gleason at Aikido Eastside, explores the secrets of aiki hidden within Aikido technques.
Our April seminar with Gleason Shihan will focus on the internal applications of Aiki to one’s Aikido practice. This is an excellent opportunity to train with a world class Aikido instructor in a small intimate setting. We encourage all of our Aikido brothers and sisters to join us in training.
