This July 18 and 19, all ASU students preparing for their shodan, nidan, and sandan examinations are invited to visit Tampa, Florida for our fifth annual Yudansha Prep Workshop. Taught by Sensei Guy Hagen, Sensei Don Ellingsworth, and Sensei Melissa Bell, these Workshops have helped dozens of candidates have more confidence, build friendships with their testing peers, and to perform tests they were proud of. Participants will experience “test level” pressure in a safe feedback environment, and receive instruction on technical execution and composure. Participation is limited to members of the Aikido Schools of Ueshiba, and to the first 30 registrants ranked 1st kyu and higher.

The ASU is deeply saddened by the news of the passing of USAF Shihan, Donovan Waite. This is a huge loss to the Aikido community. Donovan Waite Sensei was a senior USAF instructor, with a home dojo in Philadelphia. He was known around the world, and inspired Aikido students and teachers across different organizations. Our deepest sympathy goes out to his students, teachers, friends and family. Rest in Peace, Donovan Waite Sensei. ... See MoreSee Less
