Interview iwth current Dojo Cho of Iwama Dojo

Here is a link to an interesting interview with the current Dojo Cho of the Founder's dojo in Iwama.  I think he will be doing a seminar with Aviv Sensei next Fall.

Hiroshi Isoyama entered the Iwama Dojo of Aikido Founder Morihei Ueshiba as a boy of 12. He is one of a few rare individuals - another being Morihiro Saito - to have been exposed to the founder during the period of maturation of modern aikido. Isoyama is passionate about his study of aikido and this dynamism is reflected in his explosive technique. Now retired after a long career in the Air Self Defence Force, Isoyama is devoting full time to his pursuit of training and teaching. He is becoming increasingly well-known internationally as well and has frequently traveled abroad in recent years.
