Takeda Daiyu Sensei, chief instructor of AKI Tatebayashi in Gunma Prefecture, is without a doubt one of the most gifted teachers Takeda Yoshinobu Shihan and AKI Japan has ever produced.
Daiyu Sensei's Aikido is breathtaking in its warmth, beauty and seemingly effortless power. His movements clearly embody the contemporary teachings of his master, interwoven with his own dynamic, playful and creative style. Coupled with an incredibly open, humble and generous heart, Daiyu Sensei is a wonderful ambassador of the AKI way and of the Art of Peace itself.
Aikido Kenkyukai Sydney's Bondi Beach Dojo is proud to present a spring gasshuku with this inspiring teacher on the weekend of 14-15th October, 2006 - his first visit to Australia in 7 years! Daiyu Sensei will also be joined by his wife, Keiko, and his son, Hiroki.
