Eric Black, Aikido

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.

I'm also the publisher of a new book: Transparent Power, the biography, history, and philosophy of Yukiyoshi SAGAWA, one of the outstanding martial artists of Japanese history. This is the English translation of the best-selling Japanese book by Sagawa-sensei's senior student Tatsuo KIMURA. Look for it online and in your bookstore Martial Arts or Mind/Body/Spirit section. (Dojos interested in wholesale quantities can contact me at that web site.)
