Master Koretoshi Maruyama European Tour –UK leg
There are not that many seminars that really try and encourage students from across the aikido world to come together and just practice. In the words of Sensei Koretoshi Maruyama;
'Every river has a name. However, these names disappear when they flow into the great ocean. Aikido has many styles, many names, but Aikido is Aikido. It is my vision and hope that, like the rivers , they flow together and unite as one.'
This year ‘Aikido for Daily Life’ will be hosting a seminar taught by him. He is the founder of Yuishinkai International. He was one of the founder’s uchideshi, and then studied under Tohei Sensei, where he was president of the Ki Society. A much more detailed history is provided on this site under downloads.
