Introduction of Osaka Aikijuku
Osaka Aikijuku was founded in 1994 with the kindness of Aikido dōshu (“master of the way”), Moriteru Ueshiba sensei, and the support of many senior members. Currently, we are active in Esaka, Suita City, Osaka Prefecture, where the main dojo is located, and also at Suita Municipal Martial Arts Hall, Senshinkan. In addition, our instructors are conducting training at a few branch dojos in Suminoe ward of Osaka, Takarazuka City in Hyōgo Prefecture, and Uji City in Kyoto Prefecture.
We offer training for men and women, young and old, beginners and advanced students, as well as families.
