Japanese Martial Arts school Aikido is a modern Japanese martial art that was developed early in this century by Morihei Ueshiba (1883-1969).
In Japanese, Aikido means "the way of harmony with the force and principle of nature."

Anyone who ever set foot in Chiba Sensei’s dojo would surely remember being greeted by Mrs. Chiba in a warm and welcoming way. The students who trained and lived there consider her to be like a second mother to them, she took care of everyone. In many ways, she was the roots of the tree that allowed Birankai to take shape and flourish under her husband, our founder, T.K. Chiba Sensei. If not for her caring for the family, the dojo and our teacher, Birankai would not exist as it does today.
-Todd Fessenden, Birankai North America President
If you're unable to make it to Aikido of Fort Collins for the seminar, you can still give back to Mrs. Chiba

Such great training at Bucks County Aikido (PA) last week at the Didier Boyet Shihan seminar. Got to take classes with two of my favorite Aikido teachers (Boyet Sensei and Lyons Sensei), see great friends and finally visit the amazing BCA dojo & lavender farm.
Inspiring.
