[ziseez]

im hunting for the backgrounds of sensei such as maybe like a family tree or something.if you have any clue of who o sensei first students where and who there students where and so on????

[surgingshark]

...which Sensei?

[Virtuous]

a name and a ryu would help immensly... The guys at e-budo are a wealth of knowledge when it comes to this kind of stuff.

[DexterTCN]

I think he wants them all.

[ziseez]

yea i just want all of them

[Virtuous]

thats a mighty tall order.

It would be easier to count the grains of sand on the beach

[ziseez]

hmmmm well i really dont remember my sensei's name all i know is sensei lol his last name is william i think could anyone help me?

[Virtuous]

what area/city?

[ziseez]

he leaves in alexandria louisiana,but he comes to natchitoes because he has a friend there and teaches.

[ziseez]

i have found the style of my sensei,it is tomiki so can anyone tell me the lineage there

[Saz]

Its not much to go on. Williams is a pretty common last name, a first name would be very useful in this situation.

Shodokan: Also called tomiki Aikido. Was founded by Kenji Tomiki, a student of both Judo (under kano) and Aikido (under Ueshiba). Shodokan is one of the few (or only) Aikido styles that teaches competion. It is a seperate entity from other orgs.

I dont see a dojo listed for louisiana or a williams sensei, maybe they havent updated their site (tomiki.org) in a while.

Here is an email address for the shodokan hombu
shodokan@nifty.com
and here is the hombu's website
http://homepage2.nifty.com/shodokan/en/index.html

if you get sensei williams first name and rank they should be able to confirm his rank.

Hope that helps
