Sensei Chris, has trained in aikido for over 30 years and has studied both Ki and Aikikai forms. Having travelled and trained internationally, in recent years Chris has spent much time studying with Shihan Yasuo Kobayashi, Sensei Hiroaki Kobayashi and now Atsushi Mimuro Sensei.

The Open Aikido Association was founded in 1990 as an independent organisation dedicated to the study of traditional aikido, borne out of the instructors and membership’s desire to practice simple, effective aikido in the spirit of common practice. With the help and encouragement from friends in the aikido community, we have built contacts with many aikido groups in the UK and around the World

also have 20 years experience in self defence and personal awareness for both corporate and privet clients
