My Aiki journey began at 8 years of age. Achieving my first Shodan at 19, I was awarded my Aikikai Sandan in 2019.
So far my Aiki adventures have taken me to Iceland twice to train with Hiroaki Sensei. I also attended the Kobayashi Dojos 50th Anniversary Camp in Japan in October 2018, I was lucky to "represent" the UK in a demonstration whilst there.
Setting up our junior class, DIG Kids, at the start of 2019 has resulted in many hours of fun. I am really enjoying teaching our juniors and trying to give them the same experiences I had at their age.
I see many more Aiki Adventures ahead!!

I started my Aikido training in 1978 at the Bristol Budokan Martial Arts Centre, Chalks Road, under Sensei John Bennett. When he stood down John Czanusciewz Sensei became club instructor.
In 2011, on request of my students and friends, I set up D.I.G. Our goal was to get closer to O Sensei's Aikido. We achieved this by becoming a part of Aikido Kobayashi Dojo, Japan. Under Hiroaki Kobayashi Sensei's tutelage I have found that all the missing "jigsaw pieces" have fallen in to place and "unanswered questions" have finally been answered!!
My pursuit for a maximised Hara combined with many years of Après Rugby has had unexpected results!!
