Newsletter - April 2024

We have devastating news 😢 Sensei Yaroslav Sodritsov is dead. He was killed along with his wife and two children during the terrorist attack on Crocus City Hall near Moscow. Sensei Yaroslavl was a wonderful man and teacher of Katori and Aikibudo. He used to come to conduct seminars in Poland including Krakow. We also met him many times at other seminars in Europe. We are extremely moved by this situation.

Rest in peace Sensei [’].
