    Default Congratulations Dale

    I know Dale would be pissed if I posted this but what the heck, he's in Japan right now. Dale Seago just received his 15th dan from Hatsumi Sensei. I don't know how many 15th dans there are in the U.S. but it has got to be a handful.

    Dale has been a dedicated Bujinkan member/practicioner for many years and has integrated modern budo (firearms retention and disarms) into the standard Bujinkan curriculum. He is also very humble and is likely to be blushing when he read this.

    Please join me in wishing him congratulations.

    Congrats to Dale! I had a chance to meet him at the last Atlanta TK. Definitely a class act...

    Congrats Dale!

    I remember a very well put together seminar in 1988 or 89 in which he taught Sanshin no Kata and Kihon Happo (which was not being taught mainstream in many places and wasn't grasped well until Shidoshi like him travelled and taught).

    I believe teachers like Dale definately helped us in the States come out of a different age of training and really start to learn about our system. I can't wait to train with him again and my congrats again!

    I trained with Dale years ago while living in the Bay Area during my school years. He is without a doubt one of the most sincere and knowledgable instructors out there.

    Many Congratulations to Dale on this HUGE accomplishment!

    One who claims to have thoroughly learned his master's techniques while disregarding his master's teaching, relying instead on his own talents, is worse than a fool.
