Walk the distance, keep the distance

Aikido Yuishinkai

Aikido (合 気 道) is a Japanese martial art (budo), founded by Morihei Ueshiba after 1945. Alike all martial artists in Japan in the early 20th century, its founder had studied in koryu (old martial arts school), mainly ju-jitsu school Daito ryu, kenjutsu (art of Japanese sword) and Aikijutsu. Aikido is Ueshiba sensei’s synthesis of these koryu.

Way of harmony, the Aikido of our school follows the teachings of Maruyama Sensei, a direct student of the founder of Aikido. The teacher of our dojo is Nguyen Thanh Thien.

This form called Aikido Yuishinkai shares with all the other forms the foundations intended by its founder, Ueshiba Sensei. It’s identity has its roots in the search of Maruyama throughout his life, his encounters, his failures and his successes. It offers a singular view of the art as there are singular views of Mount Fuji.
