Our Spence Sensei Lancashire Aikikai was passionate about coach education. He will be missed by many. Comments about him made by others on our webpages (www.lancashireaikikia.org/spence/index5.html) reflect the high regard every one had for him. Funeral 25th July 2024 details on our link

In Memorium: Bob Spence Sensei 🙏

It with sadness that we report that Bob Spence died on 14th July. He was Head of the Lancashire Aikikai Association from November 1998 when Mucha Sensei the founder died. Spence Sensei had been a huge influence within the Lancashire Aikikai, British Aikido Board (BAB) and beyond.

He regarded both Chiba Sensei and Mucha Sensei as his teacher, mentor and friend.

A unforgettable figure who conducted many coaching courses for the BAB at all levels over many years. He was instrumental in working and fashioning the BAB Coaching Award Scheme from the ground up. Drawing on his experience as a Lecturer, Tutor with the Amateur Swimming Association and his Aikido background. He was appointed by the BAB as its first Coach Tutor in 1999.

Lancashire Aikikai have opened an Appreciation page on their website (www.lancashireaikikai.org) We encourage those who knew or encountered him to share their recollections / appreciation. This page has details of the Funeral that is Thursday 25th July 2024
