Shiohira Sensei

Shiohira Sensei has been training in, and teaching, Aikido for over 40 years. He began studying Aikido as an undergraduate at Waseda University Aikikai under Shizuo Imaizumi Sensei. He continued training at Waseda during graduate school and had one year of live-in training under the second Doshu, Kisshomaru Ueshiba Sensei. He also received instruction from all of the other leading Aikikai World Headquarters instructors at the time, including O-Sensei (Founder), Kisshomaru Ueshiba Sensei (Second Doshu), Koichi Tohei Sensei (Chief Instructor), Kisaburo Osawa Sensei, Morihiro Saito Sensei, Seigo Yamaguchi Sensei, Sadateru Arikawa Sensei and, at Shingu, Michio Hikitsuchi Sensei. He studied Shin Shin Toitsu Aikido under Koichi Tohei Sensei (Founder) for over twenty years. He studies under Hiroshi Tada Sensei after rejoining Aikikai in 1994.

In addition to Aikido training and instruction, he studied Zen under Zen and martial arts master Tenshin Tanouye Rotaishi. He trained in Misogi Shugyo at the Ichikukai Dojo under Tesso Hino Sensei.

Shiohira Sensei has been training and teaching Aikido as THE WAY. Several of his students have become Aikido Masters or Zen Masters, and several more advanced ones just continue training. He wants to maintain a dojo where one can be free from distractions, to see things as they truly are, and one can move continually towards living a fulfilled life.
