If the post above is correct then Cottier Shihan has been promoted, making him the first Hombu registered, British born 7th dan. Can anyone confirm?

Hi Mark,

My mistake -- I had gotten a correction to Cottier sensei's rank (as 6th dan) but had neglected to update the news article before posting.

I attended a class he taught in San Francisco a yr or maybe 2 yrs ago at Suginami Aikikai and had a blast. I totally recommend anybody near where he is offering a seminar to get over there!

Seconded!

I caught him at Tam. It was a complete surprise as I just happened to be in the area and had no clue he'd be teaching.
