Here at the frontier, the leaves fall like rain. Although my neighbors are all barbarians, and you, you are a thousand miles away, there are still two cups at my table.


Ten thousand flowers in spring, the moon in autumn, a cool breeze in summer, snow in winter. If your mind isn't clouded by unnecessary things, this is the best season of your life.

The Aikido of Takeshi Kimeda

 


When I trained in Yoshinkan aikido under Kushida Sensei back in the 70's and 80's in Detroit, a frequent visitor was Takeshi Kimeda Sensei, who was in charge of Yoshinkan Aikido in Canada. I was able to snag him as a training partner a few times and it was a wonderful experience.

 Below is a video of a demonstration he gave in 2018. Enjoy.
