Laizure Sensei
Our Instructor

Prior to beginning his study of Aikido Laizure Sensei
trained in Tae Kwon Do under Mike Melhorn. He studied
TKD for a period of 2 ½ years at which time the school
was closed. It was during his study of TKD that he
found a flier for the Sarpy Aikido Club.

In September of 1992 he began studying Aikido under
Ron Christenham Sensei, founder of Sarpy Aikido Club.
After some time of study under Christenham Sensei, he
began teaching the club's youth class. He continued
teaching the youth class and attending regular practices
until 1998. In 1998, he received his shodan, first
blackbelt, and permission from his sensei to organize
an affiliate dojo. Hinode Dojo was formed at this time.

December of 1999 Laizure Sensei attended a Japanese
Swordsmanship seminar, hosted by Eric McKillican
Sensei. This began his study of Japanese
swordsmanship. In 2003 we made the transition into
Shinkendo and haven't looked back.
