Our club held a "Six Sensei Seminar". Six different organizations coming together sharing the one common goal, Aikido. Everyone left their egos at the door. Very successful and rewarding. Great idea, great concept. Our Dojo was packed full as the Sensei's bought there Ukes and top students with them. Good luck.
