Upcoming
Lisa Tomoleoni Shihan in the UK 2026
Lisa Tomoleoni Shihan returns to Chishin Dojo in the UK once again to lead another 3-day seminar. Lisa Sensei spent close to 14 years teaching and training in Japan and is the only female leader of a Hombu Dojo / Aikikai group.
Lisa Sensei's Aikido is wonderful, powerful and direct, her knowledge and teaching skills are in a class of her own due to her extensive knowledge of both Japanese culture and Aikido technique. You will very likely be challenged to step outside of your comfort zone in order to grow over the 3 days.
Do not miss out!
Autumn grading
Students invited by Sensei demonstrate their progress. Family and friends are warmly encouraged to come and watch.
End-of-year training & social
The last class of the year: light training, long bows, and food afterwards. Families welcome.
