After five years in the Philippines, Galarpe decided to come back to Guam to establish his home and raise family with his wife, Gloria.  Galarpe continued to practice Aikido and later formulated the presently existing School of Self-Defense-Aikido in Tamuning, Guam.  In 1972, the school was born.  Galarpe worked for the University of Guam’s Police Science Academy to teach Physical Education (Aikido) to students and to officers of the Guam Police Department.

In 1974, he received his Yodan (4^th dan) in Japan from Tohei Sensei.  To this day, “School” remains.
