Seagan P. Yi-O'Kelly
Martial Arts Practitioner
With four decades of martial arts training that includes 30 years of Karate training and 16 years of Aikido training, Seagan has taught Aikido for nearly 10 years in Austin, TX
The way that Aikido is practiced develops skill and confidence in our ability to interact with our practice partners. This interaction becomes an excellent metaphor for the complexity of our interactions outside the dojo. As in life, change is constant on the mat so we learn to focus and read each other's intentions moment by moment​ in the same way that we do automatically when catching a bouncing ball. The role of Aikido in the modern world and as a martial way is that of harmonizing with others and neutralizing conflict in a way that is not harmful to oneself or anyone else. This attitude and philosophy if properly employed can be of great benefit to both the aikidoka and those around them, a way of overcoming confrontation without becoming confrontational.
Seagan no longer offers lessons in aikido classes.
Besides his work as Field Services Manager at Control Panels USA Inc., Seagan enjoys electronics, woodwork, hiking, racket ball and scuba diving as well as traveling & exploring new places.
Seagan & Kyung have been married since 1990.
