Chida Sensei Seminar in Oz

Added: October 23rd, 2009 | By: | Topic: seminar

Over the ANZAC Day Long Weekend in April 2010, Chida Tsutomu Shihan will be visiting Melbourne Australia for the first time in over 12 years as a guest of Aikido Shudokan. Chida Shihan was a top uchi-deshi of the Founder of Yoshinkan Aikido and can claim the longest career at Yoshinkan headquarters. All the details can be found in our seminar section, for those who need reminding here is Chida Shihan in action.


Yoshinkan Kihondosa

Added: September 25th, 2009 | By: | Topic: beginners, technique

As a helpful guide for all our new students (and current students) I have included here two videos of Kyoichi Inoue Hanshi demonstrating the complete kihondosa. His instruction is in Japanese so unless you watch them with Sensei Tad a little difficult to follow however the visual demonstration is a great reference source.


New Seminars Page

Added: August 19th, 2009 | By: | Topic: seminar, shoshinkan, website

We have now created a seminars section on our website to record upcoming Aikido events taking place around the world. I believe you should take every opportunity to train with the many top instructors who make themselves available through seminars and workshops. Seminars provide the opportunity to learn new ideas and train with other students of Aikido. If you are organising a seminar, workshop or event and would like us to promote it on our website and to our students then please contact us with all the relevant details.

In late-October of this year, Aikido-ka from around the world will be gathering in Malaysia to be taught by both Joe Thambu Shihan, 7th Dan Yoshinkan Aikido, and Jon Marshall Sensei, 5th Dan Yoshinkan Aikido.
