Steve Gellner

Yondan

Steve Sensei began training in Aikido in 1994 in the Washington DC area. He was drawn to Aikido as a way to exercise and develop both halves of the brain through training in Ki development and the spiritual aspects of Aikido as integral components in the application of technique. His focus in teaching is to simplify the learning on understanding of technique through mastery of the basic Aikido movements (Aiki Taiso) and to use the role of uke in the develpment and understanding of the principles of Aikido.

Steve works as an engineer and as such, has a strong inclination towards the technical and mechanical aspects of Aikido.
