Well, being away from Japan definitely has it's limitations when trying to keep up on the web page. Great news is that I get to continue to provide updates with good news. First is news that Mukai Sensei was promoted to 7th Degree Black Belt (7 Dan) and was chosen to receive the promotion personally from Doshu on behalf of all those selected for advancement to that rank.
The second is the photo of all the Camp Zama members who attended the Winter testing. Folks I missed previously were David McCarthy who was promoted to ShoDan, Kengo Watanabe who was promoted to 1st Kyu and and Nicholas Johns who was advanced to 3rd Kyu.
Well done all and congrats!!!
Camp Zama is the location of the headquarters for the US Army in Japan and is located between Zama and Sagamihara Cities in Kanagawa Prefecture, just outside of Tokyo's Machida area. Most of our members are here for only a few years before moving on. Our club is affiliated with Aikikai and under the oversight of Hiroshi Isoyama Shihan and has close ties with the Aikido clubs of Japan's Self Defense Force.
