My current rank is Nidan (2nd degree Black Belt).

In Japan I am privileged to train at Shiseikan, the private dojo at the Meiji Shrine in Tokyo, Japan, under Minoru Inaba Sensei, 8th Dan.

In California I train at Shisei Aiki Dojo in South San Francisco, and assist teaching the Kashima Shin-ryu Japanese sword technique and its relationship to Aikido, some weekdays at lunchtime and Monday-Friday evenings at Shisei Aiki Dojo.
