Shoyukan Aikikai France

Objectives

SHOYUKAN AIKIKAI FRANCE aims to sustain and develop a different space for practice, turned towards the tradition of the HOMBU DOJO and based on the teaching of its instructors, with respect for Japanese culture.

Through the practice of a martial discipline (BUDO), SHOYUKAN AIKIKAI passes on in France the values of humility, altruism, respect and tolerance that are taught at the HOMBU DOJO.

The purpose of the association

The purpose of SHOYUKAN AIKIKAI FRANCE is thus:

  • To promote and develop relations with the HOMBU DOJO and to encourage exchanges between French and Japanese practitioners through Aikido seminars, training courses or demonstrations in France,
  • To organise, supervise and develop the practice of Aikido in the spirit intended by its founder, O SENSEI Morihei UESHIBA, of which the AIKIKAI FOUNDATION and the present DOSHU are the legitimate guardians,
  • To bring together and unite clubs, practitioners and teachers for the practice of the discipline, while ensuring respect for the principles and techniques of Aikido as it is taught at the HOMBU DOJO,
  • To take part in organising “Dan” gradings through teachers of the HOMBU DOJO or teachers delegated and authorised by SHOYUKAN AIKIKAI, according to the rules and rituals in force at the HOMBU DOJO and in accordance with its regulations of 10 May 1980, as amended on 1 December 1988 and 1 October 2000.
