I sincerely believe that this program is ensuring a strong future for the ASU,the legacy of our great teacher and the integrity of Aikido going forward.  this systemic mentorship is an adhesive that speaks to the heart of how contemporary Aikido Schools of Ueshiba teaching must be viewed.

From George Ledyard –

Please send me copies of any pictures taken at the Baltimore Nanadan Seminar this past weekend. If you have a large number, stick them up on Google drive or equivalent and "share" the folder with me. There have to be quite few out there since John and I spent quite a bit of time doing our photo op thing and I know pics were taken during class with our permission on condition that we get copies.

Thanks to everyone who attended the event. Special thanks to the ASU Board for creating the Nanadan Pilot Project. Huge thanks to Brian Healy and the folks at the Baltimore dojo for doing such a good job hosting the event!

I was just telling folks at class on Thursday about Sensei’s delicate touch 😉

Baptism by fire…

When uke has to sneeze

Just go with it

Honk honk 😁

Got your nose!

Boop

Hananage!

Honk honk

“Breathe”

pee-u-kemi

Controlling the Nose of your uke as an Atemi to limit his awareness 🥋⭐

"A man face you, he is enemy. Enemy deserve no mercy…. Honk! "

“If I can stop a nose bleed, you can stop a nose bleed.”

Excuse me grasshopper I don’t want you to smell that!

He kNose

“This is aiki. Understand? You see?? This is aiki”.

Absorb, resorb
