Here's a great aikido clip from Karl sensei's dojo, Shoshin Aikido of Montreal. If you're ever in Montreal, do yourself a favor and stop by and train with Karl. He's a great guy and a true aikidoka!

The second Seattle seminar with Seishiro Endo Shihan

(Originally posted on the Saku Dojo Web site HERE)

On the weekend of April 7-9 2006 the Seattle Aikido community was treated to a wonderful event; the second annual seminar with Seishiro Endo, 8th Dan Aikikai, from Hombu Dojo, Tokyo. The seminar was hosted by Aikido Willapa Bay Seattle, and held in the spacious gymnasium of Seattle Central Community College.

Much thanks to Greg Angus Sensei, and the whole Naka Ima crew for showing us a great time, and organizing an excellent seminar.

Frank sensei has released a promo spot on www.YouTube.com for his dojo. It looks great! Take a look:

I was a hydrologist for the U. S. Geological Survey for 43 years, and have been a hydraulic engineer for the South Carolina Department of Transportation for 4 years. I began Aikido in Atlanta in 1972. I studied with Rodney Grantham from 1972-79, Clyde Takeguchi and Gordon Sakamoto in Washington, DC, 1979-84, and have been sensei of Columbia Aikikai in Columbia, SC since 1984.

Brian Levy of the New Orleans Aikido dojo (www.noloaikido.com) took some additional photos of the seminar this year with Frank sensei.

Thanks, Brian!
