While I have not been to Kaicho Darel Chase's Hombu dojo, I have met him and trained with him at our previous Shisei Ryu Aiki Budo Hombu Dojo in DeRidder, LA when Kaiso Gary Ducote was still with us. It was an unforgettable event and with Sensei Chase there, things were very interesting. His expression of martial arts is very powerful and effective. His ability to translate technique and terminology into practical nuggets of muscle memory are only proven by Darel's accomplished skill level. He is a lot of fun to be around, and he is also a good friend. If you are needing to know practical self-defensive maneuvers, Sensei Chase is your resource. Scott Doerr - 2nd Dan Tulsa, OK

Hands down the best dojo in Louisville. One of the last places in the area to learn real traditional martial arts.
