ABOUT US

 

The name Aikido Shoryukai Australia was approved in 2022 by Katsuyuki Shimamoto 8 Dan Shihan of Aikido Toyonaka Shosenji Dojo in Osaka.

​

This came after several discussions with Shimamoto Shihan which concluded with him kindly granting permission to establish a federation of Australian dojos, similar to other groups in Europe, and act as his representatives in Australia.  This brought some formality to our long standing relationship with Shimamoto Sensei.

​

The Technical Director of Aikido Shoryukai Australia is David Kolb 6 Dan.
