Sensei Kanno

“The purpose of training is to tighten up the slack, toughen the body, and polish the spirit”

(Sensei Kanno  5th dan certification from Hombu Dojo)

For the 4th Dan grading, all candidates are required in Japan to write a short Article on Aikido.
Sensei Kanno’s article for his 4th Dan grading  has been published  due to its qualities, in the Aikido magazine from the  Hombu Dojo “Aikido Tankyu“.

The article is entitled “The Heart of Aikido” and is written in Japanese. As yet no translation if available - we are sorry to say!
