Congratulations are in order

We are extremely proud to announce the following promotions for our New York Aikikai members. Congratulations to you all. Of special note are the promotions of Mike Abrams and Harvey Kongisberg to 8th dan. Mike and Harvey are beloved by all of us and have been devoted to our dojo for 60 years. We value them as dedicated teachers, students and exemplary human beings. What a great honor for both Mike and Harvey - and for the New York Aikikai.
