My teacher was Aikikai and his teacher is still Aikikai so what I do is pretty much Aikikai anyway. My teacher spent a fair amount of time with Sugano over the years. I even visited Hombu when we were in NY some years back.Congrats. So when are you going to switch to Aikikai?
The training now is probably more along the lines of Tohai's teaching, less physical than many styles, especially those under Saito or Shioda. I find visitors from those styles far more rigid. So, yes, I'm comfortable with Aikikai and would probably go there if my teacher was to retire. Fortunately he's a few years younger than me.

Well done good sir.
Good on you, K. I am most pleased for you as you reach a very important milestone in your training. Now begins the self-doubt and the certainty that you are not good enough for your grade ... or at least that has been my experience :lol:.

No self doubt at all. If the aikido fails I'll just hit them!
But, you are right. I have no delusions regarding my aikido skills, but .. in another 6 years .... :asian:
Congratulations K-man. Well deserved I am sure.
