I was planning on just enrolling my son, but ended up taking the trial lesson with him. Next thing you know I was into it more than he was. That was more than 13 years ago.

Weekdays at Ryu Honbu Dojo and weekends at the Saitama club has made aikido a big part of my life. Because of this, I have made a lot of great friends along the way.

Our motto is "Fun aikido". With a wide range of people all training together, you are bound to enjoy yourself.

​

At the urging of my parents, I started learning aikido from the age of 10. Even now that I'm an adult, as well as an instructor, I still enjoy practicing aikido every day. .I aim to make use of the experience that I  have gained from my time in the kids class to convey the charm of aikido to people of various generations and to teach them so that we can continue to share it together.

First began just to stay in shape、but soon fell in love with the beauty and depth of the art. Many people have heard the name "Aikido" but other than that, don't know much about it. I hope to try and spread a true undertstanding of this mysterious budo.

You`ve probably all seen the seemingly fake aikido videos where the teacher mysteriously throws their partner by barely touching them... When I first tried a class I realized there was actually science behind controlling the human body through joint manipulation. Since that day I`ve become more and more fascinated with the art. How about trying a class?
