My name is Robert. I’m currently a shodan in aikido, training at Two Cranes Aikido in Seattle. I originally started aikido in the San Francisco Bay Area with Frank Doran Shihan at Aikido West. Previous to that, I trained over six years in Taekwondo, earning a first degree black belt. I’ve also dabbled in other martial arts, namely kenpo and kung-fu.
