Congratulations to Senseis Frank Doran and Robert Nadeau on their promotions to
Shihan.
Their new titles were announced by Aikido Sandai Doshu Moriteru Ueshiba on the occasion of the Kagamibiraki (New Year's) ceremony at Aikikai Hombu Dojo, Tokyo, Japan.
These promtions are among the first-ever for non-Japanese aikidoka to this title, and truly acknowledges their stature in the Aikido world.
