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.
