Hi everyone

 

David Harvey Sensei, who has had a long association with our dojo, is once again running a dojo of his own. He has organised a seminar with Alan Higgs Sensei ( http://shodokan-sports.info/index/AboutUs.html) who relocated to Brisbane from Osaka in the last year or so.

 

Shodokan Aikido takes its lineage from Tomiki Sensei, an early student of O-sensei.

 

The training in Shodokan Aikido is markedly different from our own. The school incorporates formal sport competition and a unique syllabus. However, "aikido is aikido", and many useful insights could be gained by attending this seminar and supporting a friend of our own dojo. Those of you who have attended the monthly yudansha workshops will be able to catch up with some familiar faces.

 

best regards

 

Andrew
