Would love to go, but not sure if I can afford it.

I shall definetely be looking into going and though it does look pricey; to train under two such individuals it is undoubtably worth it.

Hi,

Many people think of Aikido as some fluffy bunny style of budo, in fact I've met my share of these types of aikidoka....but....Robert Mustard is NOT one of these. He's a fire breathing monster and funny as hell. I met Robert many years ago but only got to know him well when Robert and I demonstrated for Norma Foster at the Wadokai World Cup in Vancouver. I taught at his dojo one night before the Wado event and afterward we recognized that we possess what can only be described as a "similar vision" that lives outside the norm. :)

So don't be confused. At this seminar we'll be teaching real budo, not bunny budo.

Takamura sensei once said to me "Toby, are you in pain? This is budo, not basket weaving. Smile when it hurts!"
