Dr. Jeff Albright and Miho Albright recently returned to study with the masters of aikido in Japan. They spent time with Masando SASAKI shihan, an 8th degree Master Instructor, who is often thought of as the Deepak Chopra of Japan. Sasaki Sensei is a Shinto priest and correlates how aikido techniques and principles are those of the universe. He teaches how to apply these universal principles to your daily life. At 80 years old Sasaki Sensei has rededicated himself to teaching these principles, as he is trying to instill them in his grandchildren.

Dr. Albright and Miho received training from Sasaki Sensei to include principles in Japanese yoga, meditation, breathing, the deeper meaning of kanji and how they have affected the Japanese culture. Of course Sasaki Sensei emphasized physical training in the art of aikido, particularly his amazing grasp of connection.
