Chicago Aikikai Instructor Profiles: Ed Reiff (4th dan)

Edward Reiff has been training in aikido for more than 40 years, starting in 1982. His interest was sparked by the writings of aikido popularizer George Leonard, and he began training after seeing a live demonstration in the Chicago area. In addition to aikido, Edward is also an enthusiastic runner, swimmer and cyclist, and practices awareness through movement as taught by Moshé Feldenkrais. Now in retirement, he looks forward to continuing to move and roll, and introduce others to the beauty and exhilaration of the art, for years to come.
