Got to spread the word on the beauty that lives in the Aikido in Fredericksburg dojo due to your efforts and the students

I really liked your concept and the approach to training.

Thank you so much for teaching me all my Aikido techniques. Your instruction has helped me in many ways outside of Aikido. Thanks, Isaac

Sensei, Greg and I appreciate you and your organization. Your patience, kindness, consistency, and leadership are fantastic!

Thanks for continuing to be such a role model and educator to Max. He is really taking pride in Aikido, and it’s awesome to watch him grow up in the dojo.

Your presentation educated and inspired our students, thank you so much for sharing your time and expertise.

Thank you for the wonderful feelings of peacefulness that pervades the dojo.

We are very happy with the facility, the training, and the fellow students.

I am deeply grateful for the experiences that I had at your dojo, the lessons learned during your classes, and the patience you always had with me. I have recommended your dojo to many of my clients for the past few months

You are two of the greatest people I’ve ever met and I am honored to call you friends and family.  As I reflect back on when our paths crossed, I really believe it was destined to be.  I have grown into the person I have always wanted to be and you have both helped facilitate that.

I want to be able to give that to others, share in your legacy and really make a difference.  I think we are on the right path

Thank you so much for all you do for our kiddos. We are so happy we found aikido. You are so good to all of the families. We really appreciate all of your hard work.

Thank you for your supporting the kids.

I thank you for all that you have done for my kids.  Your program is amazing.  It was a privilege to be a part of it.  Bless you and yours.

Thank you for your time, effort, and insight. You have helped me learn the importance clarity, and a good smile. I really can’t think of any way to repay you other than committing to Aikido.

I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed your aikido seminar last month! It was challenging, but I appreciated your willingness to work with me, and how encouraging everyone was. Thank you again, and I look forward to learning from you again in the future!

Thank you for all of your help, advise, and guidance.

Thank you so much for allowing me to come to your beautiful dojo and train with you. I learned a lot. At times I felt like a failure but I had to focus on just improving my technique and realizing that I had fundamentals but needed to experience other training partners. I hope to continue my learning of Aikido.   This is an experience I won’t forget and hope to re-experience again in the future.

Once again my gratitude for your organizational skills and hard work hosting the seminar/gasshuku at the Lake.

Thank you, Sensei, for the fantastic venue.

Thank you so much for letting us use your beautiful, peaceful dojo as our learning space 🙂

From going to all your kids seminar over the years I have learned so much on how to teach the kids, and this again gave us new ideas and things to discuss on what we feel we’re doing right and what we will add or change to our testing and what to test on. Thank you again for setting it all up. You did a really great job.

I’m going to share all of the material attached and from today with my co-instructor for the Aikido Institute, Martha Evans-Holm, as well as with our dojo-cho, Deborah Maizels and David Lewin, and perhaps other senior instructors.

Thank you again for all you are doing to spread O’Sensei’s message.

Blessings

On behalf of Traditional Aikido of Sarasota, I personally wanted to say Thank You for all you and your dojo do, to run and provide the Tahoe Almost Annual Gasshuku for all of us.

Your leadership is very much appreciated.  I personally had an amazing good training this year, as always….  every year is amazing.

Thank you for all you do, for all of us in TAA and your ongoing support of Traditional Aikido of Sarasota.

I want to thank you for allowing me to use the dojo as  venue.  I wanted to show them that we have  beautiful dojo’s in the States, and not conduct the seminar in a gym. I appreciate it very much. Also thank you for recommending Yoshiko as a translator, she did a great job. I appreciate you opening it up to your students as well. It was nice to train with Rich, Robert and Tom again. I was surprised by the turnout, thank you for helping make that possible.

Arisue and Nakamichi commented on how beautiful the dojo was and they were impressed and liked the fact that you not only trained with Saito Sensei, but you are keeping his legacy going here in the U.S.  Arisue was an uchideshi with Saito Sensei when he was in college and told a story about his memories of that time during the seminar on Saturday and explained when he walked into your dojo and saw the photo of Saito Sensei, what he felt. That was very cool to hear.
