Chatting with Robert Nadeau Shihan

After his classes at the Aiki Summer Retreat 2013, Nadeau Shihan stayed to talk with a group of us about O Sensei, Nadeau’s time training in Japan, and taking the principles of Aikido into the world in other contexts.

I chose to train at Aikido of San Diego in part based on Dave Goldberg Sensei’s affiliation with Nadeau, who I was familiar with before I started checking out local dojos. The man is a force of nature, and has had (and continues to have) a huge influence on Aikido in California and beyond. It was a privilege to be able to sit and talk with him.

A Few Friends at the Retreat

This is the first of several sets of photos I’ll post about last week’s Aiki Summer Retreat 2013, at Feather River College in Quincy, California.

It was such a pleasure to see so many people I knew! I had met probably half the participants before. I knew a few well already, and got to know others better, and made quite a few new friends, too. These photos are of just a few of the awesome folks I was privileged to spend time with at the Retreat.
