Anthony DePalmaYondan: Friday nights at 6pm. Tony started training Aikido in 1983 in New England and New York. While visiting California he had the opportunity to train at Aikido of Tamalpais--and knew he had found his home. He moved to California in 1987 and has been training here ever since. He started teaching aikido in 1992. To supplement his understanding of movement arts, in 1989 he began studying the Feldenkrais Method and later completed a Guild Certified Feldenkrais Training Program. He uses his knowledge of body movement to bring insight to the underlying mechanics of techniques, thereby enhancing power and fluidity. He also spent ten years teaching weaponless defensive tactics to Federal Law Enforcement Agents.
