Re: Anyone Ever Seen M. Saito In Person

Jamie san,
Have you met me ? In 1989 I enjoyed Aikido at Cincinnati.
How is McGinnis sensei ?
At that time,I saw one lady practice by Iwama style.

Please see Friend in Overseas in below website.

Re.Saito sensei
When I told him that after I had got Three dan at Yoshinkan ,I moved to Aikikai,Saito sensei told me as following.
He respects Shioda Gozo sensei as Sempai.As Shioda Gozo sensei lived Iwama dojo after second war,they practiced Aikido together. When Saito Morihiro sensei issued Aikido book,Saito sensei appreciated that Shioda sensei wrote recommendation letter for Saito sensei.
