I have changed the following sentence under the heading Biography: "During his time there, he began his study of karate (first, Shotokan; later, Goju-ryu) and aikido (Ueshiba)" to "During his time there, he began his study of karate (first, Shotokan; later, Goju-ryu) and aikido."

By placing the name Ueshiba in parenthesis following aikido Mr. Comee seems to imply that he trained directly under Ueshiba Kaiso. However in the previous sentence he admits to beginning his study of asian languages and martial arts in 1970, one year after Ueshiba's Sensei's death. Furthermore Ueshiba Sensei's only travel outside Japan was to Mongolia in 1924 [1], Manchuria in the 1930's and Hawaii in 1961 [2].

I hope this clarification prevents any confusion. Wavejay (talk) 19:08, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
