i belive sensei Seagal recieved his first black belt in seidokan aikido before he left to train in japan--so add sensei Rodrick Kobayashi(who was sensei Koichi Tohei's assistant for 8-10 years) to the list as well. and also add sensei Seiseki Abe, who he studdied under as well, and who seagal's old uchi deshi(live in student) Haruo Masuoka curently is back studying with.
