 “O Sensei, how come we are not doing what you are doing?” He just smiled and replied “I understand Yin and Yang, you don’t”. Like if it was nothing, he just gave me the secret of Aikido.

Virginia MAYHEW

Virginia Mayhew was the director of New York Aikikai in 1963-64.  She often took side jobs working as a belly dancer at a Greek night club in order to pay the rent.  Once Yoshimitsu Yamada Sensei arrived in New York from Tokyo she went back to Japan to study with O-Sensei full time.
