SEE BELOW OUR PAST EVENTS
9th International Friendship Seminar (IFS)
As most of you may know the first International Friendship Seminar took place in 2010 at Broadland Aikido Club dojo in Lowestoft when Haydn Foster sensei Institute of Aikido (U.K.), Philip Lee sensei (Singapore) and Osamu Obata sensei (Canada) agreed to teach together in friendship. Sadly Foster sensei passed away the following year. Since then each year it has rotated being held in the U.K., Singapore and Canada. This year on weekend of 6th – 8th April saw the 9th IFS take place in Singapore along with Philip Lee Shihan association, Aikido Shinju-kai celebrating its 30th year.
It was without a doubt the largest Aikido seminar and celebration I have ever attended in my 46 years of training and study of Aikido, when I say largest I mean it was a very big event as you can see below in the attached photo.
At one point for the group photograph there was a total which included the children, in excess of 870 on the tatami from 26 countries.
Planning started in August 2016, the dojo was a fully air conditioned 20 badminton courts wide sports hall that can hold 2000 participants and spectators, over 1000 tatami were laid
The Gala dinner was held on the Sunday evening and was attended by over 860.
