INSTRUCTION:  The club is directly linked to the Shodokan Aikido Honbu (Headquarters Dojo in Osaka, Japan), where the club's instructor has trained and tested under Shihan Tetsuro Nariyama.   

As a special 2012 event, April 13-15, Nariyama-shihan visited Tulane and gave seminars at Reily Center.  He was accompanied and assisted by Honbu instructors Sakai-sensei and Sugano-sensei.  In this event we had high-ranking visitors from several parts of the US, and it was a truly unique experience for our students.
