Hey Richard,

I know both of those family names actually, they are pretty popular in business. In Trinidad Aikido is pretty new, our dojo which could be the oldest is only 10 years old. We have Shodokan and Yoshinkan styles officially recognised here.

I've never visited Venezuela, but I plan to. My ancestors on my Dad's side is from there.:)

Hope you enjoy Aikiweb, and you are welcome at our dojo anytime to train if you ever make it across the Gulf.:)

If you see any of my family in Trinidad say hi for me...je,je
