The Physical Principles of Aikido

It is with deep regret and sadness that I must announce that Hiroaki Izumi (Rocky) Sensei passed away on March 1, 2013. Friends and colleagues around the world will miss his enthusiasic, knowledgable and inquiring persona and his boundless energy and eagerness to share and explore the aikido experience.

Rocky was warming up at a kendo seminar in Dubai when he was unexpectedly struck with a heart attack. He was just 59 years of age.

Rocky's new organization, Jin Yuu Gi, will be continued by many of his followers as a philosophical foundation to their continued practice of the art of aikido.

The video series will continue to be made available - please return in a few weeks once a new pricing structure has been established. There are 2 more videos in the series to come. Both on the subject "Use of the Thumb". I hope to be able to complete the videos by the end of this year. There is also a seminar video on the way.
