| About Aikido Kimori Dojo |
|
Aikido Kimori Dojo was established on the
20th of January 2002 by Kimori Dojo’s chief instructor, Toshiharu
Sawada Shihan (7th Dan). To
celebrate the occasion Kimori Dojo was honored to have Moriteru Ueshiba
(Doushu), the grandson of the founder of Aikido and the current chairman of the
Aikido foundation, attend and give a rare demonstration of his Aikido. In 2011 to celebrate Kimori Dojo’s 10th
anniversary a seminar was taught by both Moriteru Ueshiba (Doushu) and
Mitsuteru Ueshiba (Waka Sensei), with over 450 people attending.
Since it was established Kimori dojo’s membership has grown steadily and
as of 2012 the exceeds over 140 members including around 70 children.
Every year instructors from the Aikido
Hombu Dojo (Aikikai Aikido World Headquarters) located in Tokyo are invited to
instruct at seminars held by Kimori Dojo.
To date Kimori Dojo has been fortunate enough to have Hideo Yonemochi
Shihan, Shoji Seki Shihan, Hayato Osawa Shihan and Takanori Kuribayashi Shihan instruct fantastic classes at these seminars.
Kimori Dojo members are also encouraged to
regularly take part in various seminars held throughout Japan and also the All
Japan Aikido Demonstration held in Tokyo every May. Because of this Kimori dojo has many connections and friendships
with other Dojo.
Kimori Dojo has two branch Dojos. The first is located in Omaezaki City,
Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. Hideyuki
Agata, the chief instructor, often trains and attends special events at Kimori
dojo. The second branch Dojo is located
in Silicon Valley, California, America.
The chief instructor, Hiroshi Matsuoka Sensei, and his students
regularly visit Kimori Dojo to take part in the annual Gasshuku and to attend
gradings.
Every year in September Kimoro Dojo holds its annual Gasshuku. It is normally
held over three days (Friday to Sunday).
Members from other countries and various other Dojo around Japan also take
part. The Gasshuku is a great event an all participants always enjoy fantastic
training followed by great food and excellent company.
Visitors from all around the world come and
train at Kimori Dojo. We have had visitors
from America, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Mexico, Peru, England, China and
Russia, to name but a few. Kimori Dojo would like to strengthen existing connections
and continue to make new connections with people from various regions and
countries throughout the world.
Kimori Dojo maintains close relations with
Aikido Shinryukan, headed by Nobuo Takase Shihan, in New Zealand. Sawada Shihan
visits New Zealand at least once a year to teach weapons classes (bokken and
jo) and empty-handed classes at seminars held there. Sawada Shihan also travels
to and instructs in China regularly.
