If anyone is wondering where Todd has been, he is still around. Although, due to other commitments in regards to a residential change for he and his family, he is unable to attend De Anza Aikido regularly. The move will take place sometime during late 2005 and early 2006, and will either be to Washington or Japan. He may arrive occasionally & spontaneously for practice before that time |

Welcome the the 2004-2005 school year at De Anza College. We expect many new & returning students to be attending the Aikido program once again. Sensei Jeff Adams & sensei David Brown along with Todd will be returning this year. We expect this year to especially fruitful. After having worked together for a few years these three have refined the beginning class presentation for optimal results. In addition, the intermediate course will see more & more residence time with the bokken. Thereby moving more towards riai, and the development of more viable kihon waza. |
