Aikido Yoshinkai Style
"Shuchu Roku"- Focus all your energy to one point.
Gozo Shioda
Soke Gozo Shioda - Kancho-Sensei (1915-1994).
Soke means "founder" and Kancho means "highest instructor in any art/style"
From the International Yoshinkan Aikido Federation
"The Yoshinkan 'House for Cultivating the Spirit' was
founded after World War Two. This style of Aikido is
occasionally called the hard style because the training
methods are a product of the gruelling period Soke
Shioda spent as a student of Ueshiba. Yoshinkan Aikido
has some 150 basic techniques which are practiced
repeatedly. These enable the student to master the
remaining ones, which total some 3000 overall.
Yoshinkan Aikido is not a sport. Aikido is the
development and strengthening of the body and mind, and
the practical side of Aikido must never be forgotten.
However, Aikido is for all, irrespective of age, sex,
race or culture."
