Ron Charpentier Sensei began training in the

Lance McClure Sensei started training in 1990 and Derek Nabel Sensei
in 1993. McClure Sensei, and Nabel Sensei trained with Russell Jones
Sensei as uchideshi as well as working with the children's program.
Both currently head our kids program as well as teach adults.
Jennifer Petkus Sensei began her training in 1996. She currently teaches adults.
All of our instructors have travelled to seminars to train with high
ranking Ki-Aikido instructors. Two have had the opportunity to travel
to Japan to train. Our instructors all continue to train as well as
teach, as they believe this helps them to progress more and to bring
fresh energy to their teachings.
All instructors have trained extensively with Kashiwaya Sensei, founder
of Ki-Aikido in Colorado. He currently is senior advisor of Ki Society
for the United States. He now lives in Seattle, WA and frequently travels around the United States teaching Ki-Aikido and Ki Development.
