Awareness, I always look, listen and learn.
I bow with humility to receive from the sensei and fellow students.
I do my best to share and persevere in my practice.




Ranks in Aikido are a measure of progression between the student and the instructor[s] and is not necessarily an indication of a student's technical ability.

Techniques, etiquette, humble and open mindedness, perseverance in training and the willingness to work with lower ranked students are all possible criteria's in determining a student's rank.

Tupelo Aikikai offers Junior, Adult, and Dan ranks through the Takemusu Aikido Association. The requirements are cumulative and only incremental requirements are listed for each rank.
