My name is Reginald (Reggie) Reid and I am a 4th Degree (Yon Dan) Black Belt in Aikido (March 2015). Also, I have a MS Degree in Geology and have been retired from the U.S. Department of the Interior after 32 years of service. On my web site you may notice me wearing a sling in the accompanying photo/video. The sling is worn, with a belly strap, to stabilize my right arm, which was paralyzed in a motor cycle accident in 1973. I have seriously studied Aikido using only my left arm since 1993. Most of my training has been through the Aikido of Reno (NV) Dojo (school) under Vince Salvatore Sensei (6th Dan). Also, I've participated in numerous seminars with several high ranking Aikido Sensei (teachers).
