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.

Members return from abroad to train.
December and January saw two of our members return to Japan from abroad. Shannon S. (shodan). stopped by in December and managed to squeeze some training with Mukai Sensei into his busy schedule, and Joe M. (1kyu) made his appearance for a week or so in January. Meanwhile, Kevin M. (sandan) and Nobuko M. (shodan) left Japan in mid-December and traveled to the States until early February. Though missing the kagami biraki ceremony at Hombu Dojo and new year party with Isoyama Shihan, Kevin managed to observe or train at four different dojos while in the states. Everyone in the stateside dojos was open and welcoming, and had of course heard of Isoyama Shihan. Now we are all in our respective homes... and I need to mail out the promotion certificates for Eric L (sandan) and Bill F (nidan). Congratulations gentlemen!
