Letter from Ikeda Sensei. Dear Friends, Many of you are probably aware that yesterday Mitsugi Saotome shihan posted an open letter on the Aikido Schools of Ueshiba website. In it he informed the ASU membership of his decision that I am no longer a part of the ASU organization. Undoubtedly, you have questions and concerns regarding this turn of events. I would like to reassure you that in the coming weeks, I will be making thoughtful adjustments and will communicate these with you as necessary. I would ask your help in making a smooth and harmonious transition to a new set of circumstances. I have a full and exciting seminar schedule on the docket for 2015, and I very much look forward to training with you in this coming year. You may find my schedule on the Boulder Aikikai website on the Events page. boulderaikikai.org/events I would like to take this opportunity to express my deepest and most sincere appreciation for your long-time friendship and support, and I look forward to many more years of exploring aikido together. Hiroshi Ikeda
