Re: "Attacks and Throws" - Aikido in Austin

there is both a woman and a man teaching classes there so whatever problems you think there are based on that TV spot, jumping to the conclusion that the cause is soley due to a female teacher doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

Leslie Libby Sensei began her aikido career at Montana State University in Bozeman, Montana in 1982 training under Greg Olson Sensei.  After two years of training, Libby Sensei moved to Japan to study aikido at the Hombu dojo in Tokyo, Japan.  Originally intending to stay for six months, Libby Sensei remained in Japan training daily for 5 years.

Jay Lindholm Sensei began his martial arts training in 1981. Following two years of training in a street fighting system "Kajukenbo", he then spent eight years training in Tae Kwon Do.  Jay Lindholm, Sensei taught at his own Tae Kwon Do school in Dallas, for two years prior to moving to Austin, Texas in 1989.  

Lindholm Sensei started his aikido career in 1989 which has continued through today encompassing 14 years of consistent aikido practice.  Lindholm Sensei regularly attends training seminars with both Ikeda Sensei and Saotome Sensei to bring ideas and training methods back to the dojo.  His motto is "just start wherever you are and get better from there."
