Shodokan Aikido Bayside

To the Instructors and Practitioners of Shodokan Aikido,
This year the world experienced an unprecedented pandemic, a threat which we are still in the midst of. I would like to express my deepest sympathies for the hardships and setbacks you have suffered this year.
On December 25th, 1979, my teacher Tomiki Kenji Shihan passed away. He was dearly missed by all of his students. The grief we all experienced, which reached its peak at the funeral, can not be expressed in words. I couldn’t control my tears, which fell freely.
More than 40 years have passed since then, and my original goal have not changed: to spread the teachings of competitive aikido, which Tomiki shihan culminated the essence of within Shodokan, all over the world.
Today is the anniversary of the death of Tomiki shihan. As time goes by and generations change, it is up to us to renew our determination to pass on the “techniques and spirit” of our teachers to the next generation.
I sincerely wish that the coming year will be full of hope for everyone.
Tetsuro Nariyama

yari hatchihon par Saikai Sensei et Joe Sensei à la 4TH Koshiyama Cup 2018 Description

In remembrance of Jigoro Kano the father of Judo who passed on this day (4th May 1938)
"Don't think about what to do after you become strong – I have repeatedly stressed that the ultimate goal of Judo is to perfect the self, and to make a contribution to society. In the old days, Jūjutsu practitioners focused their efforts on becoming strong, and did not give too much consideration to how they could put that strength to use. Similarly, Judo practitioners of today do not make sufficient efforts to understand the ultimate objective of Judo. Too much emphasis is placed on the process rather than the objective, and many only desire to become strong and be able to defeat their opponents. Of course, I am not negating the importance of wanting to become strong or skilled. However, it must be remembered that this is just part of the process for a greater objective... The worth of all people is dependent on how they spend their life making contributions"

MEET THE TEAM - Sensei Tony
Sensei Tony started Aikido at the YMCA Ann St Brisbane mid 1979. Mid 1981, Tony and Ken started taking the junior class at Capalaba PCYC before the main class on Fridays.

Tony was graded to 1st Dan August 1984 and started the Bayside Aikido Club at Wynnum PCYC March .

Tony graded to 5th Dan 30/3/2012

Tony's first International Competition was in Vandalia, Ohio, USA in 1995, since then has been to Imabari Japan, Brisbane, Leeds UK, Katsuura Japan, back to Vandalia, Ohio, USA, Kyoto Japan, London, Osaka Japan and the Gold Coast. Tony has been retired since the end of 2007.

Tony is an electrician by trade and was working at the Brisbane Cricket Ground when I retired.

Grandfather of 6, Sensei Tony has over 40 years experience and is AIS qualified.

All our team at Bayside and all Tony's students have great respect for him and his passion for Aikido. His wealth of knowledge on the mats, I'm sure are unmatched and greatly appreciated by all who has the pleasure of training with him.
