Aikido Alive London's head teacher Bjorn Saw Sensei (4 dan Aikikai) have one of the longest experiences of traditional Iwama Takemusu Aikido in the UK, having begun his Aikido training in 1974 for Saito Sensei's then representative in Europe, Takeji Tomita Shihan (7 dan) at Takemusu Aikido Scandinavia in Stockholm, Sweden. Bjorn Sensei then spent several years training under the late Morihiro Saito Shihan (9 dan) in Iwama, Japan, from 1987 to 1993.
“Budo is a divine path that leads to truth, goodness and beauty; it is a spiritual path reflecting the unlimited, absolute nature of the universe and the ultimate grand design of creation.”
