fighting techniques of ancient Japan. Developed during the 1920's, thetechnical foundations of Aikido can be traced back to Aiki-jujutsu thatevolved in early Japan. Aiki-jujutsu techniques were practised by Prince
Tejin, son of the Emperor Seiwa (850-880 AD), and passed on to
succeeding generations of the Minamoto family.
Morihei Ueshiba (1883-1968) became a recognised master of Aikijujutsu and several other arts. He also believed in peace. In 1925, heorganised a style of Aiki-jujutsu to assist his own spiritual and physicaldevelopment. The result was Aikido.
Aikido is not a conventional fighting art or sport. Instead, it is a martial
art that develops the ability to harmonise with opposing forces rather
than combat them. Because of this, many circular and sphericalmovements are involved in Aikido to redirect opposing forces towards aless harmful destination. In Yoshinkan Aikido, the emphasis is on the
study of fundamental movements and solid basic techniques as well as
gaining philosophical insight into the conduct of life and humanrelationships. Yoshinkan Aikido as a martial art is non-competitive andnon-violent. Co-operation and harmony are more important thanaggression. Timing and control are more important than strength.
Ueshiba Sensei’s top student was Gozo Shioda (1915-1994). In 1955,
after receiving 9th Dan, Gozo Shioda Sensei formed the Aikido Yoshinkan
Foundation. Shioda Sensei's style of Aikido is known as Yoshinkan, aname that he inherited from his father. "Yo" means cultivating, "Shin"means spirit or mind and "Kan" means house. Gozo Shioda's official title
is Soke which translates as founder and director. In 1995 Kyoichi Inoue
Sensei succeeded Shioda Gozo as Kancho. In 2008 Yasuhisa Shioda
succeeded Inoue Sensei as both Kancho and Soke.
The world headquarters (Honbu Dojo) for Yoshinkan Aikido is located at
the heart of Tokyo in Shinjuku. There are over 90 schools of Yoshinkan
Aikido in Japan and the Yoshinkan style has become world recognised
and is taught to the Tokyo Riot Police in Japan. Large numbers ofWestern students train at the Honbu, and to support overseas
instructors, Shioda Sensei created an intensive 11-month International
Instructor’s course in 1991.
Shioda Gozo Sensei formed the International Yoshinkai Aikido
Federation (IYAF) in 1990 to promote the development of Yoshinkan
Aikido worldwide. In 2008, Shioda Yasuhisa Kancho replaced the IYAF
with the Aikido Yoshinkan Foundation (AYF), an organization more
fitting to the organizational needs of today.

YOSHINKAN AIKIDO“These days, the differences of ideology, the confrontation of races andconflict between nations, leads to numerous problems from the destructionof the environment to economic friction. All opposition or antagonism
leads to greater conflict. A premise of Aikido is the avoidance of rivalry or
any form of opposition. If the people of the world would make an effort tolearn how to avoid dissension through the practice of Aikido, I am sure thatmankind could realise genuine unification. Therefore, we as instructors
must do our best to gain this ideal.”
Soke Gozo Shioda (founder of Yoshinkan Aikido)
Aikido, “ the way of harmony”, is a martial art that can be used against any
form of attack and, at its highest level, a form of self-defence that neutralises
an aggression rendering the attacker harmless without causing injury. To dothis requires skill, but more important, it requires an ethical intention.
Master Ueshiba, the founder of Aikido, concluded that the purpose of martial
arts was the perfection of the spirit, not merely perfection of physicaltechnique. Although the modern forms of budo, such as kendo, karate andjudo, stress the importance of mind-body training, they also emphasize
competition and tournaments and therefore place an emphasis on winning.
It is at this point that Aikido shows itself to be unique. Aikido holds notournaments or contests and refuses competition, as it is detrimental toprogress on the spiritual path. The constant temptation always to be awinner could lead people to be egotistical and self-centered and develop a
win-at-all-costs attitude. Defeating others was seen as a roadblock in thepath to harmony in the universe.
Students of Aikido are constantly reminded to let go of the "fighting mind."Care is taken during actual practice to avoid clashing against anotherperson's energy. When the student feels that he is forcing a technique, it is asure sign he is clashing with his partner's energy instead of blending or
going around the force. Using brute strength in Aikido is a sign of failure to
execute technique properly. Only after years of practice does one truly
recognize that it is unimportant to see who is the best or who is thestrongest, who is the champion. The true path is the path to harmony andenlightenment. Training in Aikido has no end; perfection of character isnever complete.
Practice at an Aikido Dojo is held in a friendly, helpful and harmonious
atmosphere. There is no rivalry because no one wins or loses. Students areencouraged to maintain the idea of harmony and non-aggression in theirtraining and in their daily lives. Only through this understanding can one
fully appreciate the power of this martial art.

Dojo Etiquette

An important aspect in the study of any martial art is learning to control one’s own
behaviour – self-control. A prime example of this control is the etiquette weobserve with our instructors and fellow students. To be impolite or unkind is to belacking in consideration of others; to be inconsiderate is to be lacking in someessential kindness of the human spirit. Correct etiquette in Aikido is basically acting
politely with due respect and consideration for the well being of others. To help one another
understand the correct behaviour in the Dojo, we follow these guidelines:•
When entering or leaving the Dojo, we face the front of the practice area and bow. We
use this bow as an opportunity to remind ourselves to be grateful for this place to train.
•
At the Dojo, we take off our hats, shoes, and street clothes and put on a training uniform
called a dogi. This uniform provides protection and helps us shed our outside concerns
and focus our attention on our Aikido training.
•
When we greet a fellow student or an instructor, we greet them with a traditional bow.
When coming on to or leaving the practice mat, we bow again to the front of the Dojo.
Bowing is a sign of respect and appreciation.
•
All jewellery and watches must be removed before practice. A clean body and clean
uniform are also very important. Fingernails and toenails should be clean and trimmed
as jagged nails can scratch or cut someone. Hygiene is not only important for your own
health and well being, but consideration should also be given to people you train with.
•
When class is ready to begin, before the teacher sits, the students line up sitting in seiza
in a straight line. The person to your right should be of equal or higher rank and theperson to your left of equal or lower rank.
•
When a technique is being taught, the students kneel quickly. Students should remainsilent while instruction is being given and hold questions till the end. When assisted by
the teacher (Sensei), students bow and say either "Osu" or "Arigato Gozaimashita (thankyou)".
•
During class, any student wishing to leave the mat or to practice something other thanwhat the class is practising must first ask the permission of the instructor.
•
Always begin and end your training with your partner by bowing to each other.
•
Never shout, curse, or become angry on the mat. If there is a disagreement, ask the
instructor what is correct.
•
All members should assist in keeping the Dojo and change rooms clean.
•
Members must not practice any other martial art, exercise, sport, or activity in the Dojo
without the Instructor’s consent.
•
Treat a senior student with the same respect you do the teacher.
•
When the class is ending, the students quickly line up and kneel before the instructor
sits. Students remain kneeling until the instructor has left the mat. Once the class has
been dismissed, students should bow to all the partners they trained with during theclass.
To help maintain the non-profit status of the Dojo, all members are encouraged to pay
their training and testing fees on time.
