In May 2001, Morihiro Saito Shihan made a final appearance at the All Japan Embukai. He had been battling cancer, frail and bowed by illness, and would die the next year, but he insisted on coming to the mat.

I'm very proud of my students, it seems I can throw anything at them and they pick it up instantly, even if they have never done it before.

These two gentlemen are a perfect example that it is never late to start aikido. They both started in their late 60s and are eager to learn, enjoying themselves in the process.
