What Others Say:
"I have attempted to learn real Aiki for a very long time. I know it when I see it. I rarely ever see it. I’ve seen it demonstrated in videos from this teacher. I’m impressed. It’s not easy to be able to do it even just a little bit. He’s definitely put in some serious work."
--Rob Liberti, Hidou Hamon Ryu |
"Nice work, impressive skills. I see, in my humble opinion, you know your elements and mechanics... Clearly, you have good solid waza, in my humble opinion, that is done cleanly and precise. Your ageaiki shows you know how the waza works with aiki."

The shomen 正面 of our hombu dojo. In traditional dojo, the shomen is the "true face" of the school and is considered somewhat sacred. The contents of the shomen vary by dojo and are highly symbolic. Our shomen features a torii gate, a symbol of the journey towards enlightenment, surrounded by two scrolls listing the arts taught in the dojo: American Yoshinkan Aiki Jujutsu and Gordon sensei's personal art of San Budo Sogo Bugei.
On the shelf at the base of the torii gate is a Daisho (sword and dagger pair) with hilts pointing to the right, signifying we are always ready to defend our home. Plants are also a common feature, bringing life back into the school when all too regularly we practice the arts of death. The sake set is there to remind us to savor the moment and enjoy the little things in life.
