Aikido is a path that seeks the glory of victory through the realization of self-improvement and one's dreams. It is a concrete method of training that will lead you towards seeing the truth of all things and becoming able to handle them with both mind(heart) and body, Through training you will discover and develop a greater sense of freedom from the influences of power, violence, and fear that suppress and prevent you from realizing your full potential.
Our practice methodology employs natural, unforced movements, so that anyone can improve and progress regardless of age or level of physical fitness. Please come and join us in the life-changing journey to a new you that is happy in both mind and body.
Please feel free to come and observe our class, whether you are new to aikido, or an experienced practitioner looking to improve even more (class observations are free of charge)!
Our Aikido dojo is officially accredited by the Aikikai Foundation.
We are also a member of the Osaka Aikido Federation
We give utmost importance to making the teachings of the Founder fundamental to our practice; paying due respect to the successive generations of
Aikido Doshu, and contributing to the development of Aikido. Our dojo was established in 1969 by Yamamoto Masujiro Shihan (deceased) with the help of Yamaguchi Seigo Shihan (deceased). Yamamoto
Masujiro Shihan devoted himself to learning from Yamaguchi Seigo Shihan his principles and techniques over the course of a couple decades.
Our dojo's guiding ideology is to honor the principles and techniques, passed from Yamaguchi Seigo Shihan to Yamamoto Masujiro Shihan, as part of
our dojo's tradition and carrying on those principles and techniques in our Aikido practice and training.
Note: Yamaguchi Seigo Shihan received instruction as an uchi-deshi (live-in student) of Aikido Founder Ueshiba Morihei, and devoted his life to teaching Aikido at Aikido Hombu Dojo. He also went abroad and taught Aikido (seminars) to many practitioners outside Japan.
