Thanks Jun, great site !

Larry, ¿how is the Aikido activity in Trinidad?
I have never being to Trinidad but I have relatives from both sides of the family...the Lazzari....and the Navarro.
¿Have you visited Venezuela?

Best regards,

Richard

Hey Richard,

I know both of those family names actually, they are pretty popular in business. In Trinidad Aikido is pretty new, our dojo which could be the oldest is only 10 years old. We have Shodokan and Yoshinkan styles officially recognised here.

I've never visited Venezuela, but I plan to. My ancestors on my Dad's side is from there.

Hope you enjoy Aikiweb, and you are welcome at our dojo anytime to train if you ever make it across the Gulf.

Same here Larry, if you get the chance to visit us. The good thing that has prevailed in our family is Trinitarian food....I love Roty (¿spell?
If you see any of my family in Trinidad say hi for me...je,je
