S1 Episode 3 PART 2: Ismail Hasan on Fear (Women Talk Budo)

PART 2. Fear. How important is fear in Aikido? Should you fear your teacher? Can fear be a useful teaching tool? These are some of the questions Fran and Cathy ask their teacher, Ismail Hasan Sensei.

Ismail Hasan Sensei began his Aikido training in 1977 in London, England. After attaining 2nd Dan in Aikido and 1st Dan in Iaido he made preparations to pursue his training in the USA. In 1985 he moved to San Diego, California to train as a full time student with TK Chiba Sensei 8th Dan, head teacher of the San Diego Aikikai and a direct student of Morihei Ueshiba, the founder of Aikido.
In 1988 he became Chief Instructor of Southwestern Aikikai and responsible for the dojos in Albuquerque and Santa Fe, New Mexico. He resumed training with TK Chiba Sensei as an Uchi Deshi or “live in student” in 1990, until his return to London in 1993. He also trained in Muso Shinden Ryu Iaido under the supervision of the late Takeshi Mitsuzuka Shihan who was the last Uchi Deshi of Nakayama Hakudo , one of the greatest Iaido (Traditional Japanese Sword Art) teachers of his era.
On his return to England he took the position as senior instructor at The London Aikikai (established by TK Chiba in 1968). Ismail Hasan Sensei eventually established his own Dojo, Aikido of London in 1994. https://aikidooflondon.com
