Organisational Changes

New Takemusu Iwama Aikido Europe site

As Sensei Sargeant now resides in Greece and is the head of Takemusu Iwama Aikido in Great Britain, Greece and Russia, the organisation changed it's name from Takemusu Iwama Aikido GB to Takemusu Iwama Aikido Europe in 2007.

This resulted from Sensei Sargeant's numerous teaching visits to Russia - over many years - and the dedication of the students from a large amount of dojo’s that now follow him throughout Europe.

It was decided to give a wider acknowledgement to those dojos outside of the UK and to give them the same status thereby aligning every dojo equally.

All these dojos strive for one thing. To keep teaching the original Aikido passed down from O’Sensei to the late Saito Sensei and not the modern Aikido that is seen to day.

The web address for Takemusu Iwama Aikido Europe is: www.takemusu-iwama-aikido.org
