The ASU community is deeply saddened by the loss of Wendy Whited Sensei, who passed away yesterday, September 29, 2021 after a long battle with cancer. She began training with Saotome Sensei in 1976 and is one of his longtime students. Wendy Sensei dedicated many years to the development of ASU and her contributions were essential for the success of the organization. As a professional educator she was well known for the quality of her instruction in her seminars. The combination of strong traditional technique with martial awareness and her sense of humor showed her sense of joy of training. She was a strong role model, mentor, and dear friend to many aikidoka around the world and will be sorely missed by us all.


“Wendy Whited Sensei lived and breathed Aikido and ASU. As an original ASU Board member, Secretary, and most recently ASU President, Wendy worked tirelessly for the organization. She cared deeply about ASU’s future, the quality of teaching, and helping dojos and individuals who needed assistance. She established the grant program and was an important part of all ASU initiatives and projects. Working alongside her was a true privilege,” commented Ania Small, vice president, ASU Board of Directors. Ania will be stepping up to lead the board through the remainder of Wendy Whited Sensei’s term.
