Hya
Well I currently live in Nagano Ken and study the Nishio form of aikido...have also studied the standard Aikikai form.
My current job finishes shortly with no hope of renewal

so I am considering moving as a new position here (english school/eikeiwa hours) will likely mean only 2 days of aikido per week...I want more
So...firstly does anyone know if Shoji Nishio is still teaching and where?...any ideas on his timetable? (a few months ago he was ill and could not attend a seminar here...hope he is ok now?)
OR...has anyone trained at Hombu dojo?...can anyone give me any advise/info on the atmosphere etc
(not so important...but am I right in thinking that promotion can be much faster there...took me 3 years to get to san que

)
....you see I would prefer to teach english privately with perhaps other business/exporting options so Tokyo might be better for me...could then train nearly everyday.
Any advise/info would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
Lee
