A student reunion with Homma Kancho and Yoon Sensei.
The center spot is left open as a symbol of respect for presiding Shihan.
After meeting with aikidoka in Bangkok, Thailand to discuss future plans for the building of the AHAN Thailand Learning Center, I flew to Korea to visit Ikam Yoon Sensei, President of the Korea Aikido Federation and practice with his student aikidoka in Seoul. It was a warm reunion and I was able to meet and practice again with many of Yoon Sensei’s students; many who had traveled far for this reunion practice. It was a wonderful opportunity to spend time with Yoon Sensei, who first came to Denver at my invitation to instruct a seminar at Nippon Kan Headquarters and also accompanied me on a trip to Nepal to instruct the Nepal Army Rangers. As always, the time spent with Yoon Sensei and his wife Miae was a memorable and pleasurable experience! Thank you very much for your hospitality!
