At the Dojo: Student Profiles

We really value the unique and dedicated students that are part of Shin-Budo Kai. Here is a look at a few of our students, at various levels in their Aikido journey.

Richard Brown, M.D. 4th dan

What I have learned from Aikido through Imaizumi Sensei have been the most important skills, thrills, and challenges of my life. My life flows all the time with better relationships, performance/creativity in career, and transforming the lives of thousands of people around the world. I could not have imagined it. What amazing people I have met at the dojo. What a blessing and a well-kept secret. breath-body-mind.com

When my dancing career began to wind down, I started taking Aikido classes to fill the void. Learning this discipline has been a truly enlightening experience. Also, as a yoga practitioner, Aikido has helped me in the area of balance, focus, and energy flow, not to mention it's a great workout!

Lyle B. 3rd dan

Lyle began his martial arts training with Jeet Kune Do, Street Fighter 2, and the art of watching ninja and kung fu movies. He's a Brooklyn gym teacher and Star Wars guy with a Dungeons and Dragons habit. After training with Shaolin monks, Muay Thai fighters, grapplers and the like, Imaizumi Sensei blew his mind with martial magic.

Saki S. 1st dan

I was always intrigued by martial arts but never really felt comfortable trying one until I saw Aikido. Other martial arts seemed too aggressive, but Aikido is very strong while using minimal force. I love the emphasis on blending and flowing with your opponent. After practicing for about 5 years, I am still learning every day. It challenges my mind and body and has helped me grow stronger in many different ways.

Yuko T. 1st dan

I started practicing Aikido, the only form of martial art I had ever experienced, at the end of 2014. I was simply looking for something new, active, and challenging, not expecting anything in particular. Then within months, it became a part of my daily life. I still cannot quite articulate what it is about Aikido that keeps me practicing three to four times a week, but every time I get on the mat, it is a new discovery and reflection of self. WORK IN PROGRESS!!

If you would like to start on a life-long journey, this dojo is a good place to begin. If you have already started but find yourself going in the wrong direction, this dojo is a good place to get back on track. If you think you’ve already arrived, this dojo is a good place to remember you have just started and you have a long way to go.
