My Introduction

Hello everybody My name is Andrew (Andy) Bedford, I live in Brighton, England. I started Aikido training in 1994 under John Duggan Sensei, at the Hereford Aikido Branch dojo of the, Shin Gi Tai Aikido Society, headed by Gwynne Jones sensei, 8th dan, Burry port South Wales.
Apart from the teachers alread mentioned, I have been greatly influenced in my Aikido training by, Saito sensei, Tamura Sensei and of course Morihei ueshiba O`sensei.
Thank you all for reading my introduction, and I hope I can constructively contribute to the discussions on Aiki web.
