Hello All,

I will be in Minnesota from October 22 to the 27th. While there if anyone wants to get together and train I will be in Mankato, about 90 minutes south west of Minneapolis.

Regards,

Tim

I would be curious to know how that came together. I did Yoshinkan style Aikido for about 7 years but only progressed to shodan. I found it helped me understand my karate bunkai much better.

Matayoshi style and our style are fairly divergent. It would be interesting to work out together. I am familiar with the following Kata

Maezato no tekko
Maezato no nunchaku
Shushi no kon sho

Akamine no nunchaku
Chikenshitahaku no sai
Sakugawa no kon sho

Hamahiga no tonfa
Yonegawa no tonfa
Chattanyara no sai
Shushi no kon dai

Kanegawa no Tinbe
Hamahiga no sai
Sakugawa no kon dai

Hamahiga no nichogama
Kojo no sai
Yonegawa no kon

Chikentsunakake no kon
Tawada no sai
Shirotaru no kon

I am currently a licensed instructor from the Okinawan Hombu and a 4th Dan in Kobudo and a 5th Dan Shihan in our Shorinryu Karate association.

Oops that should have been Kanegawa no Nichogama not Hamahiga.
