Hi Kelly,

I only had Mukai sensei as my training partner for a short time at a seminar with Isoyama Shihan, I caught him all alone at the last IAF Congress Seminar in Tokyo, and recognising him, I of course grabbed hold of him for a fun few minutes. I've seen him around outside of training a couple of times, but I doubt he'd remember me.

Robin seems to have done much of the research you needed - sorry I did not help so much myself. As Robin pointed out, AKI refers to a specific organisation, which is a line within the Aikikai. The situation with various sensei splitting from lineages from Iwama also complicates things. The good thing is that from my experience at least, most of us just want to train and as I said, once people get hold of each other, you can feel what they got, from the line or from their own genius.

I hope I can catch you around here some time when you come back to Japan.

Regards

Carl
Carl. Thank for the help and information. I hope to see you around also. My wife and I own a house in Tokyo so I will be back next year.
