Aikido moved him around the world a lot, not only as uke and student. He’s a teacher with a lot of years of experience now. Running seminars, camps, opening schools. His first school was established in New Haven, Connecticut. He established Aikido of Manhattan in 1995 and in 2009 Baja Aikido was created where Sensei finally feels well.
Baja Aikido is located in a small town named Todos Santos, Mexico. 75 miles to the north from Cabo San Lucas and it’s an Aikido dream.
This charming little town is famous for being not only an artists’ colony, but also a surfing hotspot, and a great place for fishing. But there is more than water sports, like horseback riding, whale watching, mountain hiking, cooking seminars, West African drumming, photography club, poetry club…
It’s not only about the Aikido but also Yoga, Zen-meditation. There’s an uchi-deshi program just as it should be in a Birankai School. Staying in such a place is healthy, a more natural way than the city with unique, environmental beauty. It’s always summering out there and what they winter is just perfect for the physical activities. Learn more about the place.
