The re-emergence of judo kata

This is a quite remarkable video. Well worth seven minutes of your life. Watch it and consider it.

    Fukuda Keiko sensei graciously shares her dojo in San Francisco (the one shown briefly near the beginning) with Aikido of Noe Valley. It has a wonderful atmosphere. Steve Gengo sensei and the rest of Aikido of Noe Valley are very thankful for the opportunity to share such a location.

    Fukuda Keiko sensei is an official National Treasure of Japan.
