Dane Doerflinger

Dane Doerflinger brings a strong, often wet, leadership background to his teaching role at the Seattle School of Aikido. He has been a professional outdoor guide for 30 years, leading whitewater rafting, climbing and skiing trips throughout the Northwest. He is certified in whitewater rescue, first aid and is a PSIA certified telemark ski instructor. Dane has been dedicated to learning Aikido for the past nine years. His training, after a brief introduction at North Seattle Community College, has been at the Seattle School of Aikido. With two daughters now old enough to be involved in the kids program, Dane has volunteered to teach a weekly session. His girls are very excited to be taking classes from their dad.
