Roger Savage Shihan has been studying Aikido since 1969 and is one of Sugano Shihans earliest students. In 1972 when I first became aware of Aikido he and Brian Diblee were both black belts, at times Roger Shihan stood in for Sugano Shihan in teaching classes at The University of NSW. Roger was awarded the rank of Shihan at the 50th Anniversary Summer School in January 2015.
