Ueshiba Morihei
The founder of Aikido
1883-1969
O Sensei, or “Great Teacher,” refers to Ueshiba Morihei, the founder of Aikido and a leading student of Sokaku Takeda, who taught the art of Daito-Ryu Aikijujutsu. Ueshiba refined this martial art and, in 1936, renamed it “Aiki Budo” to distinguish his teachings from Daito-Ryu. By 1942, as Japan embraced the concept of “The Way” (Do), Ueshiba further evolved his art into what is now known as “Aikido.” Revered for his teachings, O Sensei’s influence is seen in the various Aikido styles still practiced today, developed by his master pupils such as Minoru Mochizuki, Kenji Tomiki, and Gozo Shioda
Shioda Gozo Soke
Founder of Yoshinkan Aikido
1915-1994
Shioda Gozo Soke, born in Tokyo in 1915, was a top student of Aikido founder Morihei Ueshiba and the founder of Yoshinkan Aikido, one of the major styles of Aikido. In 1955, Shioda developed Yoshinkan Aikido, focusing on practical self-defense techniques and precise, strong movements. His style gained popularity both in Japan and internationally, with Shioda training law enforcement agencies, including the Tokyo Riot Police. Until his death in 1994, Shioda Kancho continued to promote Yoshinkan Aikido, which remains widely practiced today for its effectiveness in real-world self-defense

Concentration
In Aikido Kiyokan, we do not rely on might. We try to develop the focused power of the whole body (shuchu-ryoku). When the strength of legs, knees, hips, stomach, etc. is united in one point, an extremely powerful force develops


Timing
In Aikido Kiyokan, we learn to react at the moment when an attacker is sure that his attack will hit the target. If the timing of your attack is correct - you will be able to cause a serious damage to the enemy, even if you do not perform any specific technique

Protection from weapons
The dynamic techniques of Aikido Kiyokan are aimed at neutralizing attackers with cold weapons. Movement speed and circular movements give you a chance to emerge victorious from the most difficult situations


Whole body strength
Aikido Kiyokan teaches us to use the whole body power, and not just arms or legs. Using the whole body and concentration increases your strength immensely
