Recently, we got a surprise visit from Dave Millar Sensei, 6th Dan of Capital Aikikai. We were happy to receive instruction from him and at the end of class, he surprised us with our Yudansha cerificates including our two new Shodan.

RIP Yamada Sensei 😔🙏🏼🕊️

I have just gotten word that Yoshimitsu Yamada (8th dan, New York Aikikai) passed away today on January 15, 2023.

Born in 1938, Yamada started aikido at age 17 as uchideshi to Morihei Ueshiba at Aikikai Hombu Dojo. He first came to the United States in 1964 and moved to New York to take care of the New York Aikikai (which was founded in 1961). Yamada was president of the United States Aikido Federation, established in 1976.

My condolences go out to his family, friends, students, and loved ones.
