Hi Dave,
Yes, my new club/dojo is about twenty minutes away from my home dojo. I have a very good relationship with the new sensei (our teacher moved across country to warmer climes), and he will come and train/teach on occassion. I don't teach weapons classes, and plan to send my students to him for their education in weapons work. I sincerely hope that the relationship is fruitful for both of us, and that it will be just as good for any students who wish to be part of a larger organization. There will also be a friend of mine who will be teaching occassionaly, and her home dojo is around 4 hours away. We will have a close relationship with that dojo as well. I hope that my (soon-to-be) students will have the love of traveling to seminars, and into the great wide world of aikido.
Best,
Rachel
