Shisei Ryu Aiki Budo

Gary Ducote - Kaiso founder of Shisei Ryu Aiki Budo was a personality shared with me by the now Soke-Jeff Lane who at the time was one of Gary's Shodans of the Keichu-do system when I started my martial arts journey in 1987. Years ago,  Jeff would always talk about him reverently and admirably.  After meeting him in person, I respected him immediately.

Gary Ducote Quotes of things he imparted to me:

• -“There are those who come into the dojo to say they want to learn budo. After that, they get comfortable they forget why they are there.”

• -“In the dojo, the Sensei is the student.”

• -“The Sensei can do whatever the Sensei wants, it’s the Sensei's dojo. After that, you find out what you can do.”
