This is an interview with my Aikido instructor, Ron Boyd, by WKYT (a Lexington, KY station) shortly after his induction into the United States Martial Arts Hall of Fame in 2006. Ron is located in Richmond, KY, where he teaches at Ronin Bushido Aikido, which he founded in 1979. The site is http://www.roninbushidoaikido.com
Ron, is not only one of the very best at what he does, he is an amazing person,a great teacher, and will help anyone in need. So for those of you who bash him or his martial arts or rank, prove your resume!

Its just been polished until its nearly its own art. (Which is its self very impressive) This is in fact why Ronin Boshido Contracted from 17 schools to just one or two a few years back, because one of his high ranking students, moved went to practice in Ohio and figured out he didn't know stuff he was suppose to at his level.

Unfortunetlly Wile Ron seams to have Polished the material he has to a EXTREAMLY impressive regenerate. But I have also Noticed a bit of padding on his Resume if you know that I mean. Good example. The Man never got a black belt in Shoalin-Do. (And yes he DOSE claim one, 2nd as a matter of fact) They in fact have ever belt test ever administered on file, And I think Ron Got a Yellow or Blue Belt.
The 'Black belt' Material I have seen at Ronin Boshido is in fact mid-level Aikido Material.

I was not taught but shown how to find by Ron several years back and it is with me everyday without the need to think about it. Awareness is great and you'll see beautiful things that many don't but seeing the bad that others don't is part of it too. Congrats Ron. Steve (the house watcher)

I suppose as many of our mothers would say....If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.
