Hello Chad,

I'm an American aikidoka, and lately I've been so fanatical about aikido practice that I'm thinking of coming to Japan to train at Hombu for a while. I have tons of questions, both about hombu and the practicalities of living in Japan -- well, Tokyo, at least. I was in Japan for a summer as an exchange student, back in high school (I'm also 35, so that was a while ago!).

I'm considering going to train at Hombu and/or at Iwama for 3 months or 6 months or a year or more, but it's all in the just-thinking-about-it stage.

Could you send me an email?

Thanks,
Amelia
