About The Hosting Dojo:
The word "yanagi" means 'willow' in Japanese. The willow is a common icon in Japanese culture; from stories and legends to paintings and poetry. We have adopted the name "Yanagi Aikido Dojo" as a constant reminder of the aim of our training.
The Yanagi Aikido Dojo was founded to offer all persons a place to pursue the refinement of their character through the martial discipline of Aikido. Beyond mere self-defense, students of the Yanagi Aikido Dojo train together to achieve the most important victory of all - victory over one's self.
About the Instructor:
Hideki Shiohira ShihanNanadan (7th Degree Black Belt) Aikikai
Shiohira Sensei began studying Aikido at Waseda University Aikikai under Shizuo Imaizumi Sensei in the spring of 1967. He also trained at Hombu dojo and he had one year of live-in training under the second Doshu, Kisshomaru Ueshiba Sensei. He also received instruction from all of the other leading Aikikai World Headquarters instructors at the time, including O-Sensei (Founder), Kisshomaru Ueshiba Sensei (Second Doshu), Koichi Tohei Sensei (Chief Instructor), Kisaburo Osawa Sensei, Morihiro Saito Sensei, Seigo Yamaguchi Sensei, Sadateru Arikawa Sensei and, at Shingu, Michio Hikitsuchi Sensei. He studied Shin Shin Toitsu Aikido under Koichi ToheiSensei (Founder) for over twenty years. He also studied under Hiroshi Tada Sensei after rejoining Aikikai in 1994.
In addition to Aikido training and instruction, he studied Zen under Zen and martial arts master Tenshin Tanouye Rotaishi. He trained in Misogi Shugyo at the Ichikukai Dojo under Tesso Hino Sensei.
Shiohira Sensei has been training and teaching Aikido as THE WAY. Several of his students have become Aikido Masters or Zen Masters, and several more advanced ones just continue training. He wants to maintain a dojo where one can be free from distractions, to see things as they truly are, and live in that understanding.
