This event, organised by City of London Shodokan Aikido Club, saw many representatives attending from Shodokan Aikido clubs in France, Spain, Belfast, Scotland as well as England.

It's hugely important for the development of any club that it's coaches invest time to progress their own knowledge and skills and seek out coaching from recognised top-level instructors to update their own skills and bring back new knowedge for the benefit of all. In addition, travelling to seminars provides great opportunity to train with other practitioners / players, ascess your own progression, build friendships, and develop relationships within the wider International Shodokan Aikido community.
