Documentary on Aikido Kyoto and Okamoto Yoko Sensei
Hi everyone, I just wanted to let you know that I have just published a short documentary shot at Aikido Kyoto, the dojo established by Okamoto Yoko Shihan, 6th Dan Aikikai. I hope that you like it!
Re: Documentary on Aikido Kyoto and Okamoto Yoko Sensei
As stated above, here is Guillaume Erard's documentary on Yoko Okamoto sensei (6th dan, Aikido Kyoto).
From her website: "Started Aikido at Aikikai Honbu Dojo; the world headquarter in 1977 with late Doshu Kissyomaru Ueshiba, then continued in France (1979-1981) with Christian Tissier Shihan. Upon returning to Japan, continued training with shihans in Honbu dojo following mainly late Seigo Yamaguchi Shihan, and I. Shibata Shihan (Current Berkeley Aikikai Dojo-cho). Established Portland Aikikai in Portland Oregon, in 1991, assumed a role of dojo-cho (chief instructor) until her return to Japan in 2003. Started Aikido Kyoto in 2003 for development of Aikido in Japanese and international community in Kyoto. She currently holds the rank of 6th dan."
