LINTHICUM 3nd DAN (SANDAN) "Som Linthicum has had the pleasure of training at many different dojos around the country, among them UC Aikido, Aikido of Livermore Valley, and Pittsburgh Aikikai. This has allowed him to learn from a variety of teachers with disparate styles and approaches to Aikido. In every instance, those teachers have generously offered the benefits of their insights and experiences. He thanks them heartily."
