Old photo of Morihiro Saito Sensei

This old photo is of Morihiro Saito sensei (9th dan), his wife with her wide smile and (a much younger!) Bruce Choy from Lilyfield Aikido.

It was taken at a party just after morning training. The party was held outside, behind O'Sensei's Iwama dojo in Japan.

Lilyfield Aikido uses the curriculum handed down from M.Saito as the platform for the aikido being taught at our dojo. More information about Saito sensei can be found in Aikido Journal. (Editor of Aikido Journal, Stan Pranin, was a former student of Saito sensei and a renown historian on all things aikido.)
