We, Nankijuku Dojo does not belong to any organization.
The idea that we have through the practice is that all the others are the teachers.
There is no master or instructor who holds a rank in our dojo, but the aim of our practice is to become courteous and dignified.
We would like to maintain the saying of the master of Aikido, Naritoki Hirano(1925-2005), "the boughs that bear most hang lowest" and practice to purify our heart and not to blame on others.
As people who have learned Aikido must have experienced, the way of unifying with life energy feels excellent and comfortable.
We would like to practice to defend ourselves while also protecting the attacker from injury, like Master Hirano's practice.
The valuable video of Hirano, back when he was a boarding pupil of the founder, can be seen from the YouTube link below.
