Shari Dyer is owner and producer of Keigan Productions. Now retired from Aikido, she trained in the art for twenty-seven years and holds the rank of Fourth Degree Black Belt.

As a sensei at Aikido of Diablo Valley in Concord, Calfironia, Dyer often videotaped seminars for the benefit of her students.

In 2003, she videotaped Ellis Amdur Sensei and his seminar on Ukemi. Amdur Sensei liked it so much he asked that the tape be made into a commercial quality DVD. This was done, and has proven to be very successful on the open market.

Keigan Productions was started as a result of this success. The company exists to help Dyer realize her vision of documenting the many senior, outstanding Aikidoka living today, especially those who explore the spiritual and psychological depths of Aikido.
