Aikido Photo Gallery

Aikido at the New York Aikikai (142 West 18th Street, New York, NY 10011).

These pictures were taken since 2003, mainly of Yoshimitsu Yamada Shihan and Seiichi Sugano Shihan, both direct and live-in students of Morihei Ueshiba (1883-1969) founder of Aikido. The oldest pictures have the lowest quality due to the equipment used.

I started Aikido in 1993 in Connecticut, while I was doing my masters in Forestry and Environmental Studies.
