Gambell Sensei has spent time both in Japan and America training with direct students of O'Sensei. He has traveled extensively, training with senior practitioners of aikido from around the world. In 1992 he was part of a delegation to China led by Tetsutaka Sugawara Sensei which held aikido demonstrations and workshops in Beijing and Shanghai.

     During his 35 years of training, he has trained in traditional Hombu style aikido and Iwama style aikido. He has also studied many other styles of aikido with senior aikido instructors. He has synthesized these many approaches and offers his students a clear understanding of the principles underlying all aikido techniques.

     Gambell Sensei believes strongly in the principles of aikido training, not only as a means of self-defense, but as a path to enhance one's spiritual growth. He also expresses the source of aikido - LOVE - through his commitment to his students and his commitment to his practice. He has dedicated his life to the teachings of loving-kindness, compassion and harmony and to passing on O'Sensei's vision of peaceful reconciliation.
