IWAMA
|
A
town of about 15,000 inhabitants situated about 63 miles to the NE of Tokyo.
This is the site of the AIKI SHRINE built by the Founder as the Spiritual
Centre of Aikido, ca. 1942. Due to the post-war ban on martial arts by the
Allied Forces, the AIKIKAI HOMBU DOJO was moved to Iwama in 1948 through
1956, when it was returned to Tokyo. Ueshiba?s dojo is attached to his home
and has been under the care and direction of Morihiro Saito since the
Founder?s death in 1969 |

IWAMA
RYU AIKIDO |
An
informal term referring to Aikido as taught in Iwama by Morihiro Saito, one
of the closest students of the Founder. Technically it includes an emphasis
on the relationship between AIKI KEN and AIKI JO movements. This style of
Aikido reflects the art of Ueshiba as taught approximately between the years
1946-1955, and there are more techniques than are presently being practised
at the AIKIKAI HOMBU DOJO. |
