Capital Katori

From 2005 to 2015, I actively trained in a line of Katori Shintō-ryū maintained at Capital Aikikai. I was introduced to what at the time was a small study group there by Bob Galeone, my teacher in Gao Lineage Bagua. Over the years, I learned a large portion of the curriculum they taught and received their first rank, called mokuroku. Afterwards, our group lead was deployed in the Army and I continued to train, but missed having regular instruction – this is when I began training at the Hobyokan.

Some photos from workshops and seminars from 2010 and 2014 can be found below.
