I'm delighted to announce that Yamashima shihan (7th Dan aikikai) will be visiting Bath again in 2012, and will take two sessions at the Bath University training village. Yamashima shihan is an engaging and experienced teacher, and well worth training with whatever your level.The facilities at the training village are excellent.

 Here are the session details (you can also find them on the Bath Aikido Society website, here):

Yamashima Takeshi shihan (7th Dan Aikikai Tokyo)

New Wednesday Practice Time

Please note:

From Jan 1st 2012 until further notice, Wednesday practice is from 6:30pm until 8:30pm, at Trowbridge Judo Club, Innox Road, Trowbridge, Wiltshire 

 

Who we are

Trowbridge Aikikai was established over 7 years ago, but is probably West Wiltshire's best-kept aikido secret.

The club's instructor is Rob Hill Sensei, a 5th Dan black belt accredited by the Hombu dojo, traditional Aikido's global headquarters. Rob, who has practised aikido since the 60s, founded the club under the technical direction of the late Sugano Seiichi, an 8th Dan Shihan (Senior Instructor) and himself former direct student of the founder of aikido, Morihei Ueshiba.

Global Inner Aikido School: new website

New website set up for Sugano Sensei's Global Inner Aikido School (GIAS).

For some years now, members of Trowbridge Aikikai have regularly trained with Sugano Sensei and aikidoka from around the world at his Inner Aikido Seminars in Europe. The organisers have now set up a website explaining the philosophy behind the GIAS, and giving some background information about Sugano himself. The website is bilingual (French and English), reflecting some of the European and Global nature of GIAS participation.
