Aikido
Introducing aikido
Aikido, pronounced ‘eye-key-do’, is a martial way from Japan and is usually translated as a “way of harmonising and coordinating one’s spirit or energy”. Its origins come from the classical arts of Japanese swordsmanship, empty-hand combat, and Eastern philosophy.
Aikido is not a technique to fight and defeat an enemy. It is a way to reconcile the world and make human beings one family.

Seiichi Sugano sensei (1939-2010)
Sugano sensei was a gifted teacher who had a big influence in establishing aikido in Australia. He had a unique natural ability, and a complete and compelling way of training. We were lucky enough to receive direct instruction from him and through Brisbane Aikikai under the technical lead of Chris Seto-Payne sensei.
