Shodokan Aikido Bayside

25/12/2020

To the Instructors and Practitioners of Shodokan Aikido,
This year the world experienced an unprecedented pandemic, a threat which we are still in the midst of. I would like to express my deepest sympathies for the hardships and setbacks you have suffered this year.
On December 25th, 1979, my teacher Tomiki Kenji Shihan passed away. He was dearly missed by all of his students. The grief we all experienced, which reached its peak at the funeral, can not be expressed in words. I couldn’t control my tears, which fell freely.
More than 40 years have passed since then, and my original goal have not changed: to spread the teachings of competitive aikido, which Tomiki shihan culminated the essence of within Shodokan, all over the world.
Today is the anniversary of the death of Tomiki shihan. As time goes by and generations change, it is up to us to renew our determination to pass on the “techniques and spirit” of our teachers to the next generation.
I sincerely wish that the coming year will be full of hope for everyone.
Tetsuro Nariyama

It is often called “Sports Aikido” or “Tomiki Aikido,” but its actual name is Shodokan Aikido. Tomiki Kenji, the founder of this style of Aikido, chose this name.

In remembrance of Jigoro Kano the father of Judo who passed on this day (4th May 1938)
"Don't think about what to do after you become strong – I have repeatedly stressed that the ultimate goal of Judo is to perfect the self, and to make a contribution to society. In the old days, Jūjutsu practitioners focused their efforts on becoming strong, and did not give too much consideration to how they could put that strength to use. Similarly, Judo practitioners of today do not make sufficient efforts to understand the ultimate objective of Judo. Too much emphasis is placed on the process rather than the objective, and many only desire to become strong and be able to defeat their opponents. Of course, I am not negating the importance of wanting to become strong or skilled. However, it must be remembered that this is just part of the process for a greater objective... The worth of all people is dependent on how they spend their life making contributions"

MEET THE TEAM - Sensei Tony
Sensei Tony started Aikido at the YMCA Ann St Brisbane mid 1979. Mid 1981, Tony and Ken started taking the junior class at Capalaba PCYC before the main class on Fridays.

All our team at Bayside and all Tony's students have great respect for him and his passion for Aikido. His wealth of knowledge on the mats, I'm sure are unmatched and greatly appreciated by all who has the pleasure of training with him.
