My Sensei Seigo Okamoto of the Roppokai Daito Ryu Aikijujutsu has been hit by a stroke and “sufered cerebral infarction”. I wish you a speedy recovery to regain good health so you can practice your beloved Daito Ryu Aikijujutsu in Roppokai and enjoy your life fully again.
I have had the great privilege of training under Seigo Okamoto Sensei for the past 4 years in the Daitoryu Aikijujutsu Roppokai Copenhagen branch. Attending joyfully almost every single practice including the many seminars in Denmark, Norway and Japan.
I treasure all the times spend in the dojo with my classmates, the leader of the danish sibu Ole Kingston (Know from the movie “Aiki”) and Okamoto Sensei practicing art of Daito Ryu Aikijujutsu.
When visiting Okamoto Sensei in Tokyo as a newcomer and foreigner I was welcomed and showed hospitality as a member of the Roppokai family.
Thank you for your teachings, my heart goes out to you.
