Great site!! Love the videos!
Cheers,

thank you for the message. I have plans to join Gleason sensei´s summer Gasshuku next month while I will be around on my vacation trip.
Is there a registration necessary? How can I find out whether a bokken and a jo can be used from the dojo there since I will not carry my weapons with me?
Thank you again for your contact!
Best regards,
Hans-Joerg
amazing how did my facebook pic get on here? haha. I have been coming sporadically for about 10 months but have been increasing frequency recently so i have been thru basic training and have gone to many other classes - time for me to get in gear:)
I think I've met you before?
Chris
The Cape Cod Aikido Friendship Seminar will be Saturday May 30 at the Cape Cod YMCA in Barnstable. It will begin at 10:00 am and run till 5:00 pm. There will be instructors from many different arms of the Aikido world.
Can you put that on the NING web site for me please?
Thank you Larry
We were not just "kind" in hosting Gleason Sensei but also lucky, after that , the expression, mizu no te, and hi no , earth no te, heaven no te started being part of our dojo vocabulary.
I was not promoted to 7th dan, I mean I did not reaceived a higher Dan graduation, but a teaching graduation, this is what in fact is the title of Shihan according to Aikikai Regulations.
To be up to receive this title from AIkikai, it is necessary just to have 7 years of teaching after beeing promoted to rokudan and of course, be a good member of the organization and work for it.
Nice hearing from you.
I hope to meet again Gleason Sensei soon, I have many questions to him regarding his book.
I believe that Aikido theory is now entering in a new phase in America and Europe, and maybe even in Japan. After so many years of looking nuggests insite of a dark cave, it seems westerns are getting aware in the present times of the f the real "Gen" (essence) of Aikido finally.
That story, of :
"Just train......thinking is not necessary".....is about to finish in my view.
The nest step it will be , "Think, read, and define a direction , and then train not thinking , to really make sesne what you have thought and read.
Obviouslly that the second thought is very different the the first.
His book I think is very important as a pioneer book, of course, there is still many to write, a hope a third book of Gleason sensei will comme soon.
I finish the traslation to portuguese of the last book published by Kodansha with O sensei´s articles, that my editor will publish here in Brazil, it is really very good too for the purpose I mentioned above .

When I look at the EVENTS on this web site....it the date/time for the Black Belt seminar and the weapons seminar say that are starting at 9 pm. Is that correct? Let me go read it to make certain I am not reading it wrong.
