Passing of Okamoto Seigo Sensei

It is with a heavy heart that I post the passing of Okamoto Sensei.

Sensei was truly an Aiki inspiration and a wonderful human being.

It was an honor to be his student.

Howard

Well, I've said it elsewhere, but condolences, Howie. I could feel the respect you felt for Okamoto sensei in every word you spoke of him, in how you train, and in how you teach. That's immortality.
