Barton Sensei started Aikido in 1989. He lived in Japan for over two and a half years where he trained as an uchideshi (live-in disciple) with both Kawabe Shigeru Shihan (7th dan) in Akita City, Akita Prefecture, and Saito Morihiro Shihan (9th dan) in Iwama Machi, Ibaragi Prefecture.

Barton Sensei continues to train on yearly trips to California under the tutelage of Pat Hendricks Shihan (7th dan). In addition to personally instructing most of the classes at the Golden Triangle Aikido dojo he is a full time high school teacher in the Waterloo Region where he taught Power Fit functional fitness in the Physical Education department and created a martial arts course in that department.
