    Thisarticle entitled "John Sukumar Ratnam and his journey in Aikido" introduces us to John Sukumar Ratnam who started studying aikido in the mid 1980's in Sri Lanka. Now, he is a 4th dan teaching at the Dubai Aikido Club. From the article: "It was a difficult time for me in Japan. I had very little money to pay my Hombu Dojo tuition fees for my board and lodging in Japan. But when I was almost down and out it was thanks to magic that I managed to survive. I diligently applied myself to the study of Aikido by paying my fees with what I earned as a street magician there."

  • Nobuyoshi Tamura Sensei Passes Away
    From: Jun Akiyama posted on 10. Jul 2010, 08:06am

    Nobuyoshi Tamura sensei (8th dan, Aikikai) passed away on July 9th, 2010. He was born in 1933 in Osaka, Japan and started out as an uchideshi under Morihei Ueshiba sensei in 1953.He was sent to Marseille, France, by Ueshiba sensei in 1964; according to Wikipedia, "he arrived in France in the port of Marseille in 1964 as the final destination of his honeymoon cruise (he paid part of his trip by performing aikido exhibitions on the ship). In France, he succeeded Tadashi Abe as the Aikikai representative there and decided to stay in this country teaching aikido as a living, despite the fact that he was barely speaking French at that time." My condolences go out to his family, friends, students, and loved ones.
