Shihan Watanabe Ikuo Sensei
Aikido Clinics

Shihan Watanabe Ikuo Sensei Seminar

Once again Shihan Watanabe Sensei visited Renseikan Dojo and gave two days of exciting Aikido. Watanabe Sensei is Chief Instructor of Ayase Dojo in Tokyo, Japan and Perth Dojo in Perth, Australia. He is also a guest instructor of Hombu Dojo in Tokyo. Watanabe Sensei has a unique style of teaching and his Aikido is both traditional like Kancho Shioda Sensei and innovative. His emphasis is always kamae posture in all techniques and the way the body moves - spiral, around, up and down, forward and back. The parties after the sessions were very informative and everyone had a chance to talk at length with Watanabe Sensei, his daughter Yuri-San and his two students who also joined him on this trip, for their first trip to Canada, Shizuka Sato-san and Shingo Konnai-san.
