Sensei's Corner

Well done to our new Shodans Mike Mulvaney and Robert Jacoby.  You both did a great job preparing for the test and I am proud of you!

Summer training is upon us, and as a community we need to focus on ukemi as well as the Aikiken 6-12 for the upcoming weapons seminar.

See you on the Mat...

Gasshuku with William Gleason Sensei, March 28-30


Author of the book The Spiritual Foundations of Aikido, featured instructor of the video Aikido and Japanese Sword, student of the great Aikido master Seigo Yamaguchi Shihan, and teacher of our very own Jay Chikyo Weik Sensei; Bill Gleason Sensei, 6th Dan, is finally coming back to Toledo. It has been about 3-4 years since Gleason Sensei had conducted a weekend seminar with us as he has been occupied with the Okugyo retreats and publishing his new book, not to mention there is a second video in the works. It has also been quite some time since we had a guest instructor at our Gasshukus. Do not miss the opportunity to learn from such a well respected teacher and practitioner. It is especially important that we have a large showing at this particular Gasshuku so that we may honor his visit with our presence. Therefore, please make time in your schedules for what will be a valuable experience. Gassho.

Here are some articles on Gleason Sensei and his experiences:
