Isoyama Shihan Seminar, Oct 2005 • Calderon Sensei Seminar, July 2006
We will update this page with video clips once we have had a
chance to review them.
 For
the past several years we have been practicing what was taught and portrayed to us as
Take Sensei's aikido (called the TenShin Methodology) only to find out that it bares little or no resemblance to what
was/is
taught by Take Sensei. I saw Kosa dori Nikyo, Kotegaeshi so fast with little or
no movement that it was blinding. I watch 6 of our students attack Calderon
Sensei at full speed and he controlled and evaded them with ease, not by running
around in a circle but by controlling them. This was not
choreographed in any way and it was amazing.
 What I found most refreshing is his down to earth
personality and his gentleness on the mat. He continually trains himself as
well as trains along side his students. He allows his Aikido to do the talking,
and it speaks very loudly. He is warm, friendly, kind, courteous, and very soft
spoken. I am proud to call him Sensei and dear friend.
Calderon Sensei is Take Sensei highest ranking Deshi, he is
not one of those federation types that has attended 4 or 5 of Take Sensei’s
weekend seminars, or posts out dated letters on a website, or mysteriously sends
in 4th dan paper work. He has trained with and has a true
relationship with Take Sensei that others can only dream of.
 If you are truly looking to study Take Sensei Aikido
(TenShin methodology) than you owe it to your self to contact
Calderon Sensei and either visit his dojo in Chico California, or have him visit your dojo as a
guest instructor as we did.
Don't be fooled by some instructors claiming to teach you
their self-proclaimed "pure Tenshin aikido." There is no such
thing, there is only Take Sensei's Aikido.
So if your current so called TenShin Aikido instructor
tells you not to contact Calderon Sensei or your out of his little
association/federation/group, then that should tell you that something is wrong,
and without a doubt it is what he is teaching as Take Sensei's Aikido.
