Nick B. Sensei (Nidan) began his instruction of Aikido under the guidance and leadership of Lynn Fabia Shihan (Rokudan). He later met Michael Park Sensei (Yondan) at a seminar held in Plano, TX. Sensei Nick would often accompany Fabia Shihan at her seminars held throughout Texas and other states that held her affiliation. Nick would also participate in classes with Michael Park Sensei until his active retirement of Aikido. Nick Sensei was given authority of instructing by both Lynn Fabia Shihan and Michael Park Sensei shortly before opening the doors to Flowing Circle Aikido Center in Dallas, TX in 2007.

Always keep your mind as bright and clear as the vast sky, the great ocean, and the highest peak, empty of all thoughts. Always keep your body filled with light and heat. Fill yourself with the power of wisdom and enlightenment.
-Morihei Ueshiba, Founder of Aikido
