Aikido Shudokan Proudly Presents
Inoue Kyoichi Kancho 10th Dan Aikido
Inoue Kyoichi Kancho 10th Dan, known for his long career within Yoshinkan Aikido and also founder and head of his own school Aikido Shinwakan. Inoue Kyoichi Kancho is one of the world’s most senior Aikido instructors. Born September 10th 1935 in Hokkaido, Japan, is a 10th Dan Aikido instructor and holds the rank of Hanshi (meaning Grand Master or Teacher of Teachers). He was Aikido instructor to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police and Riot squads on behalf of Aikido Yoshinkan. He is a living legend of Yoshinkan Aikido, having been at Yoshinkan since its beginning and helping to formulate the distinct kihon dosa and teaching system. He is recognised as one of the very best Aikidoka in the world today.
During the Labour Day long weekend in March 2012, Aikido Shudokan Melbourne is proud to host Inoue Kyoichi Kancho for a 3 day Seminar. The last day of the seminar will be followed with Aikido Shudokan’s 32nd Anniversary Demonstration as well as the Celebration of Joe Thambu Shihan’s 40 Years of Aikido.
This will be a tremendous weekend that we hope to share with a vast array of Aikido practitioners from around the world. This really is a once in a life time opportunity!

Hello everyone,
Seniors
The next Adults test will be held on Sunday the 18th of December. This will be followed by the Christmas party. Please remember to organise your testing partners/uke now.
Please remember to be on the mats in a clean gi on time!
Test times are as follows:
10th Kyu- 4th Kyu Test
• Briefing: 1:00pm
• Test: 1:30pm
3rd Kyu & Above
• Briefing: 4:00pm
• Test: 4:30pm
Please remember as the weather is warming up to keep hydrated and remember to maintain good hygiene. There should always be a basic courtesy of hygiene. You’d figure this would be a given. But apparently, it’s not always, so here are some things that I feel compelled to mention:
• Wash your Gi on a regular basis. You may not need to wash it after every class, but please wash it before it starts to get… ripe.
• Wear deodorant and/or shower/bathe regularly please.
Juniors
Test practice is in full swing. Test booklets are due back this Monday 5th December. Please be sure you have completed the required page and it has been signed by both your teacher and a parent. The Children’s Test will be on the 10th December. Please try and find a testing partner for the grading.
The times are as follows; please remember to be on the mats in a clean gi on time!
Thornbury Dojo

Oakleigh Dojo

After the grading the Children’s Christmas Party will be held at Ivanhoe Aquatic Centre, 170 Waterdale Rd, Ivanhoe from 3pm – 5pm. It will cost $2 entry per person, payable at the dojo front desk. Please bring a plate of food on the day. Parents and siblings welcome!
Have a great week everyone
Osu
