“We at Aikido Yoshinkai NSW will endeavour to follow the training methods and syllabus that we trained through at the Yoshinkan headquarters in Tokyo, Japan and introduce this efficient and effective martial art to Sydney    We hope to develop strong ties with all sections of the local community, from schools and colleges to workers and professionals. While the direct benefit of Yoshinkan Aikido is seen in its clear and powerful technique, by bringing people together in a non-competitive setting we can remove barriers to communication and come to understand each other better. “Instructors Darren Friend & Peggy Woo.
