Please join us as we welcome Bill Gleason, Aikikai 7th Dan, back to Hawaii in a seminar hosted by Aiki Kai o Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii.
William Gleason studied Aikido from 1970 to 1980 at the main world headquarters (Hombu Dojo) in Japan and also with Yamaguchi Seigo Shihan. During that same period, Gleason Sensei studied swordsmanship (Kashima Shin Ryu) as well as Japanese language, classical music, and Eastern religion. Since 1985 Gleason Sensei has continued to practice and teach under the auspices of Mitsugi Saotome Shihan and the Aikido Schools of Ueshiba.
Gleason Sensei founded Shobu Aikido, Inc. in 1980 in Boston, Massachusetts, and there are presently five Shobu affiliate dojos from the Midwest to the East Coast. He is the author of "Aikido and Words of Power: The Sacred Sounds of the Kototama (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004X6WN9I/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B004X6WN9I&linkCode=as2&tag=aikidsange00-20&linkId=TNWZ66WZH3HQUUQJ)" and "The Spiritual Foundations of Aikido (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008VRYN5W/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B008VRYN5W&linkCode=as2&tag=aikidsange00-20&linkId=EISYJEMQJDTT2NXV)", which has been translated into four languages.
