Aikido Oufukan Kyoto & Osaka
- Aikido
An Aikikai-recognized aikido dojo, called Aishinkan Kyoto until it became independent, with its own 100 square meter dojo near Kyoto's Imperial Palace and classes in Osaka. It welcomes visitors from all over the world to its regular classes, sells single lessons, and runs aikido experiences for travelers.
- The style
- Aikido with no contests: partners practice set forms in pairs, built on circular movement. Teachers wear dogi and hakama, and classes keep traditional budo etiquette in a dojo with a kamidana, the household shrine.
- Lineage
- The dojo is recognized by the Aikikai Foundation, in the line of founder Morihei Ueshiba. Its head's teacher, Tanimoto sensei, began in Matsuyama in 1967 under Koichi Sayanagi Shihan, 8th dan, a student of O Sensei, and received 7th dan in 2001 from Doshu Moriteru Ueshiba.
- The teacher
- Hiroki Ogawa, 5th dan Aikikai, began aikido at 16 in Nara and met Tanimoto in Ehime. He started the Kyoto dojo in August 2011 and now leads it as Oufukan.
