K. Crane

Kathy & Richard Crane are full time professional Aikido Instructors. Both hold the rank of 7th Dan and are the Chief Instructors of Aikido Agatsu Dojos. Established in 1976, Agatsu Dojos remains dedicated to the proper impartation of Traditional Aikido practice and principles of O'Sensei Ueshiba Morihei. 'Aikido In Training' Series is an extension of that commitment.

The Cranes sincerely hope that the 'Aikido In Training' Book & DVD Series are one more step in the direction of preserving O'Sensei's Art and spreading the joy of rigorous honest endeavor which is at the heart of the Aiki Way.

Foreword written by longtime friend Stanley Pranin, noted Aikido Historian recommends the series saying: '...those contemplating the study of Traditional Aikido or who are already students of the 'Aiki Way' will find this Series an invaluable tool for understanding the subtleties of this unique Japanese Martial Art.'
