DaitoRyu Aikijujutsu Kodokai Seminar at The Budokan
We had the privilege to host Manny Jimenez Sensei of the Kodokai on April 30th. Those in attendance were exposed to the basics of Daitoryu Kodokai as well as some applications. To see the techniques and concepts of the current teachings of the Kodokai and how they align with our history through Conti Sensei's teachings were evident. I want to thank all those that attended and Jimenez Sensei, who was open and giving with his teachings to us. I was then able to visit with the Kiyama Sensei, the Head of the Kodokai in North America. Again, Kiyama Sensei was very energetic and detailed in his teaching and provided a history of his coming to the US from Japan.
