Claire Keller, 5th Dan, Shidoin on Aikido of Charlotte Radio

[Aikido of Charlotte]

I had the pleasure of speaking with my good friend, Claire Keller, a 5th Dan, Shidoin from New York Aikikai. Claire has been coming down to teach in North Carolina the past few years with Hal Lehrman Shihan and is one of the hidden secrets in the USAF. She doesn't travel a lot. She isn't into the politics. She is just a great aikido teacher and very genuine person. Enjoy the interview!

Claire Sensei did a seminar at the dojo I belong to, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Fantastic sense of humor, great energy, and she encouraged everyone to make their technique their own Aikido, to take ownership of their practice.
