This is an incredible opportunity for you to learn about the roots of aikido from someone who having watched  the founder determined that Aikido would be her life. She stayed on in Japan for some years learning from most of his leading students, before returning to the USA, to share what she had learned.

About John Sensei:

John Sensei is the only direct student of Hiroshi Ikeda sensei in the UK who he has maintained a close relationship with for over 20 years. He spends countless hours every year with Ikeda sensei including personal tuition and runs a fulltime dojo in Coventry. John's main interest with aikido is the study of '6 Harmonies (6H)' movement principles to develop internal strength; specifically in how to use gravity and the ground to bring solidity to his body whilst breaking another's balance. He has a good understanding of body mechanics through constant analysis and study of 6H with how it relates to Ueshiba's Aikido thanks to Mike Sigman (the renowed internal arts teacher).
