Read below to learn about the service:

From the time I first launched aikido.com in 1996, a few friends and acquaintances have asked for email addresses at aikido.com. I was able to accommodate these few requests by adding alias' to my Internet providers email system to forward an aikido.com email to these folks' actual email address.

About 6 months ago, in June of 2001, Kenneth Kron and Richard Moon approached me expressing a desire to offer commercial email services as an extension of aikido.com. Since I didn't really have the resources, expertise, time, or interest to launch or maintain such a service, and since I felt that it would be a good service to offer the aikido community, we entered into an agreement whereby I will allow them to set up and operate email related services using the aikido.com domain.

Although they will begin by offering alias services, they intend to expand what they offer over time.

Kenneth and Richard will be operating this service through their organization, ZanshinRyu.com. Please contact them at email@aikido.com or at the following address/phone number if you have any questions about this service.

Zanshin Ryu
6947 California Street
San Francisco, CA
(415) 379-6697

I would also be happy to hear any feedback you may have about this service, but please understand that aikido.com does not operate the service nor receive any financial benefit from its operation.
