On May 13th 2002 our beloved Sensei, Morihiro Saito, passed away. He was a man who devotedly dedicated all his life to the Founder of Aikido, O Sensei Morihei Ueshiba, and to preserving his teachings in the most faithful and rigorous way possible. To the ones who followed him, Saito Sensei left a deep spiritual heritage made of respect, kindness, gentleness and love towards others. Takemusu Aikido Association Italy wants to honor the 10th Anniversary of Saito Senseis passing with a large koshukai in Italy, to take place exactly in the country where Saito Sensei rst came in 1985 and where Iwama Aikido started its spread throughout Europe. This important event will take place on May 11th-12th-13th 2012 in Giaveno (Turin), at the Palasport, and will be directed by Saito Senseis closest deshi, who are still working hard together to preserve his beautiful pedagogy with the same harmony and friendship they experienced through this amazing Aikido master.

Paolo N. Corallini is the President of Takemusu Aikido Association Italy (T.A.A.I.). He started Aikido in April 1969 under the guidance of Motokage Kawamukai Sensei, Hirokazu Kobayashi Sensei and Andr Nocquet Sensei, who appointed him, in 1981, as President and Technical Director of Unione Italiana Aikido a division of the Union Europenne d'Aikido in Italy. He followed Nobuyoshi Tamura Sensei in France closely during this period. In 1984, wishing to meet Morihiro Saito Sensei and visit the dojo where the Founder created and de ned Aikido, Corallini went to Iwama. This was his rst enchanting meeting with Morihiro Saito Sensei. Immediately Paolo Corallini became aware that the training method in Iwama dojo followed the traditional methods of the Founder. Then, from that moment he decided to devotedly follow Morihiro Saito Sensei. Since that time he has been to Japan as uchi deshi (direct, live-in student) 25 times to train with his Sensei. On February 1985 Corallini invited Morihiro Saito Sensei to Italy for the rst seminar. This was the rst time Saito Sensei was in Central Europe. From that year, Corallini followed Morihiro Saito Sensei everywhere, and invited him to Italy for seminars each year for 17 times. In 1988 he received 5th dan Takemusu Aikido from Saito Sensei, and also the 5th Buki Waza Mokuroku (weapons rank) as well as the authorization to give Tai-Jutsu (body techniques) and Buki Waza (weapons techniques) dan ranks. He was also appointed by Saito Sensei as direct Representative in Europe. In March 1993 Saito Sensei awarded Paolo Corallini 6th dan and the Shihan title in Iwama. He subsequently received 6th dan Aikikai. Corallini Sensei directs many seminars in Italy and foreign countries such as Germany, Scotland, Switzerland, France, Portugal, Austria, England, Bulgaria, Croatia, Slovenia, Rep. of South Africa, Spain, Denmark, Sweden and Lebanon each year. Morihiro Saito Sensei gave 7th Dan Iwama Ryu to his representatives Paolo Corallini and Ulf Evens on May 25th, 2001. In the year 2006 Paolo N. Corallini, together with Ulf Evens founded the Takemusu Aikido Kyokai (T.A.K.). On January 9th 2011 Paolo N. Corallini Shihan receives the 7th dan Aikikai directly by Moriteru Ueshiba, Aikido Doshu.

Bill Witt began Aikido practice on July 24th, 1967 at Hombu Dojo in Tokyo, Japan and met O-Sensei for the rst time. In Japan he met and trained with Morihiro Saito Sensei. Formally he became a student of Saito Sensei in October 1969. Since August 1969 until May 1980, Bill Witt Sensei trained yearly with Morihiro Saito Sensei at Ibaraki Aiki Shuren Dojo, Iwama, Japan.

Between 1978 and 1982 he trained intensively under Nobuyoshi Tamura Sensei, following almost all of his weekend seminars as well as his regional teacher-seminars, It was in this Dojo that he received a visit from Tsunemori Kaminoda Sensei and Risuke Otake Sensei, as well as Donn F. Draeger, during their European tour organised by Tiki Shiwan and Daniel Leclerc. Up until 1982, he successively held the positions of D.T.R (Regional Technical Delegate), at the U.N.A. (National Union of Aikido), and then R.T.N. (National Technical Supervisor) at the F.F.L.A.B. (French Free Federation of Aikido and Budo). He continued to study with Tamura Sensei until 1987, albeit episodically. In April 1993, Daniel Toutain became a student of Morihiro Saito Sensei, 9th Dan Aikikai. To study under Master Saito was a long-awaited dream for Daniel Toutain. From his rst contact with this historic master, he was captivated by Master Saito's mastery and knowledge, and equally touched by the great humanity of this teacher. He became deeply attached to him and was profoundly marked when Master Saito passed away in May 2002. Saito Sensei conferred on him the grade of 6th Dan in March 2002.
