I deeply appreciate Sato Sensei because he is very much an ordinary person with no "airs" about him and he is all about Aikido.
Very similar to my seminar experience with Sato Sensei.

A truly top-notch individual.

A couple of us went to a seminar he was holding and even though we do not train in his organization/style he (and the rest of the seminar attendees) were very open and understanding of our pathetic attempts to try it their way. It was truly a great time.

I liked his instruction so much I recommended him to a student of mine that was moving to Chicago. This student was looking for a dojo that taught a similar style to what we do. I encouraged him to broaden his experience and seek out Sato Sensei. Good instruction transcends stylistic boundaries.
