The new Yoshinkan syllabus for 2010 - 2011 can be found below.
The Aikido Shoshinkan syllabus covers the entire Yoshinkan Honbu syllabus as set by Yoshinkan Honbu in May of each year. Gradings aim to mirror the same format, syllabus and standards set out by Joe Thambu Shihan of Aikido Shudokan Melbourne.
All dan grades are issued by the Aikido Yoshinkai Federation (AYF) and are recorded at Yoshinkan headquarters in Japan and are recognised by affiliated AYF clubs.
Shoshinkan students can be assured that this enables them to train at any Yoshinkan dojo around the world (see the worldwide AYF dojo listings).

The last classes before Christmas will be on Wednesday 23rd December 2009.
The dojo will close fully till the following Wednesday 30th December 2009 when we will hold two regular classes open to everyone.
We close again until Monday 4th January 2010 when we will start the new Aikido year with our fulltime schedule.
