Shoyukan Aikikai France

Membership

Membership of SHOYUKAN AIKIKAI FRANCE may be taken out by an association or by an individual.

In order to preserve the spirit of harmony upheld by the association, without which no authentic Aikido is possible, every membership application will first be assessed by the technical committee and the management committee. Accordingly, it is the tatami, and the tatami alone, that is the judge: the main criteria for acceptance or rejection are, on the one hand, technical faithfulness to the Aikido of the Hombu Dojo and, on the other, the attitude candidates have shown in and around their practice.

Members of SHOYUKAN AIKIKAI FRANCE benefit from the association’s international recognition, from its seminars and events, and from the opportunity to sit the Dan Aikikai grade examinations. They may also be eligible for the teaching certificates issued by the Aikikai Foundation.

Membership of SHOYUKAN AIKIKAI FRANCE is in no way exclusive of, or incompatible with, affiliation to another existing Aikido organisation or federation.
