Sarasota Aikikai will celebrate it’s 50 year anniversary at a very special seminar March 7-9, 2025. This will also coincide with the celebration of Sensei’s 88th birthday on that Friday, March 7th.Saotome Sensei and Ikeda Sensei are both coming, they told me they are excited to see all their friends from the old days together once again. Joining them are two more senior instructors from the early Sarasota days: John Messores Sensei and Dan Messisco Sensei.
For those who can make it to town a day early, we will also have special pre-seminar classes in the Sarasota Dojo on Thursday night. Although this is not the first location that Sensei came to in 1975, it is the location that has lasted the longest – Frank Bell established the present location of the Sarasota Aikikai in 1995, and it has been here ever since!
