Gleason Sensei returns to Australia – 2nd to 10th Feb

Bill Gleason Sensei is returning to Australia again this February for what is likely to be his final visit. Gleason Sensei (7th dan) is not only a talented exponent of aikido, he is a dedicated teacher, keen to see others develop. He explains the physical, mental and philosophical components of Aikido in order to develop Aiki in the execution of techniques.

He has a long and dedicated Aikido career, studying as a student of Seigo Yamaguchi Shihan in Japan from 1970-1980. He returned to America and founded Shobu Aikido of Boston (www.shobu.org) under the auspices of Saotome Shihan since 1985. In recent years he has worked with other martial artists to develop “aiki” in his training, and will be sharing his talent and experience with us during this visit.

Gleason Sensei has indicted this is likely to be the last time he will come to Australia so it’s an opportunity not to miss – there will be ample opportunities to train with him over the 10 day visit to Sydney and Canberra, so I encourage you to make the most of these:
