I really like Saotome Sensei but does anyone have any experience with Linden Sensei?
thoughts?

Dan has a very nice dojo in Orlando, attracts a good crowd, runs a good class. He has started more than one firestorm online (aikiweb?) and with his book and his strongly put opinions.Originally Posted by TLR

I have not read his book but listening to his radio interview I was quite surprised at his fundamentilist outlook. I also was thinking how wonderful a teacher Saotome Sensei is and how he has two senior students both Vietnam Veterans that are very different in Linden Sensei and Dan Messisco Sensei.
FYI Messisco Sensei in my opinion is an untapped jewel in aikido.
thanks for your response.

Fundamentalist in what way? Christian, in regards to Aikido, or something else?
Just curious,

Hi Jason,
Fundamentalist as in conservative right wing views. His praise for GWB was a bit over the top.

I had the great pleasure to holiday in Orlando Florida last year and had emailed Linden sensei with a request if I could come and train at his dojo.His response was yes no problem.I have studied Aikido for 16 years and trained with lots of Japanese masters and european masters.I can tell you from my experience he was up there with the best not only was his Aikido on par his attitude and that of his students was first rate.They made me feel very welcome.My only regret was that I could not stay.So if you find yourself with an oppertunity to train with Linden sensei you would be a fool not to do so.I will be going again next year I can't waite.Train hard and enjoy yourself.
