Michael Hacker began his study of Aikidô in Japan in 1990, and
has been very fortunate to get his hands on many skillful teachers in
his short time on the tatami. His primary Budô influences are
Donald Moriyama, Amano Shigeko, Saito Morihiro, C.E. Clark, and Stan
Connor. He has also had limited exposure to Kôdôkan
Jûdô, Mugai-ryû Iai-Hyôdô,
Shôrin-ryû Kishaba-juku Karate, Hapkido, Tae Kwon Do, Tai
Chi, and various Chinese martial arts. Among his other loves are songwriting, his Chet
Atkins nylon-string, techno-geek stuff, his world famous Bad Budô
video collection, studying languages, and Swan (if he knows what's
good for him). Michael is a student at the Jiyushinkan in Tempe, Arizona.
