Aikido Hombu Dojo -Tokyo

Morihei Ueshiba, Founder of aikido. It is too deep to explain the truth of aikido. One must read it and practice it to understand its spirit. Below is Moriteru Ueshiba the third Doshu. Throughout the year I have the pleasure to meet the master on several occassions. It is also a joy and pleasure to be taught by the master.
The great thing about living in Japan is being able to easily visit & train at the founding dojo of several Japanese martial arts. Just the cost of a Shinkansen "bullet train ticket. Every year our school participates & schools from abroad in the biggest demonstration of the year. This is the 40th Aikido Demonstration, May 27, 2006. This picture is taken at the founding dojo after training under the master Moriteru Ueshiba.
The sock, I had a foot condition otherwise footwear is never worn. There are no color belt levels. My school doesn't emphasize such differences among the group. The only difference is black belt hakama pants and hakama pants that distinguishes the levels. More photos found on my group page.
