Laizure Sensei began training Aikido in 1992, under Ron Christenham Sensei (founder of Sarpy Aikido Club). From 1996 to 1998 Laizure Sensei was the youth instructor at Sarpy Aikido. In 1998 he received permission from his sensei to organize an affiliate dojo. Hinode Dojo, LLC was formed at this time. Laizure Sensei often visits Sarpy Aikido Club, LLC for additional training.
In 1999 Laizure Sensei attended a Japanese Swordsmanship seminar, hosted by Eric McKillican Sensei. In 2002 we made the transition into Shinkendo and haven't looked back. When McKillican Sensei moved back to California in 2009 Laizure Sensei was granted permission from Obata Kaiso to lead Shinkendo in Nebraska. Laizure Sensei as well as his students regularly attend seminars with Obata Kaiso. Laizure Sensei also oversees two additional Shinkendo Study Groups in the Omaha area.
In addition to his regular classes, in 2008, Laizure Sensei began teaching an after school Aikido program at several middle and elementary schools in the Omaha area.
