I have lived and trained in Japan several times and taught Aikido since the beginning of the 90ies and currently holds the rank of Yondan (4th-degree black belt) and are teaching at the Frederiksberg Aikido Club In Denmark. I am a direct students of Aikido Doshu Moriteru Ueshiba, grandson of O´Sensei Morihei Ueshiba and a student of the late Morihiro Saito Sensei from Iwama, Ibaraki Prefecture. I have spent several times as uchi-deshi (live-in student who trains under and assists a sensei, on a full-time basis) at the birthplace of Aikido where the Founders Dojo and Aikido Shrine are located in Iwama, Ibaraki Prefecture, under the tutelage of the late Master Morihiro Saito . Now I travel frequently to Japan as soto-deshi(students who live outside the dojo as regular students) to train in Hombu Dojo under the guidance of Doshu Moriteru Ueshiba.
