We want to thank all of you, who have celebrated the 50th anniversary with us.

It was a perfect opportunity to notice, that communication is happening not only by words, but also though the joint practice. Even without the knowledge of foreign languages connections beyond country borders could so be established.

We are looking forward to the next coming 50 years, which already have begun.

Dear Peter,

we have known each other since the beginning of the Tendoryu Aikido in Germany and I remember fondly the talks we had together.

I appreciated your humor and the strong character you were. This humor you never lost even during difficult times. 40 years you were closely connected to the Tendoryu Aikido and always took great efforts to support it. I want to thank you for this time.

You will live on in our memories.

Shimizu Kenji

Herewith, international Tendoryu aikido women congratulate our Sensei Shimizu Kenji to the 50th anniversary of his Tendoryu aikido school.

And the development of his philosophy for a great live balance.

At the website https://tendoryuaikidointernationalwomenday.org/ aikido women from all over the world share their experiences, thoughts and ideas related to the 50th anniversary of the Tendokan dojo in Tokyo.

We thank the women for contributing to the worldwide Tendoryu family and we wish everybody reading with joy.

May you get inspired!

We are celebrating the 50th anniversary of Tendoryu Aikido.

In 1969 Shimizu Sensei has started teaching in his own dojo, at that time bearing the name Shimizu Dojo. Nine years later in 1978 Sensei went abroad for the first time for teaching, to Germany. The first seminar took place in Rüsselsheim. Followed by invitations to Serbia and Slovenia ( former Jugoslavia). And over the years Tendoryu Aikido has spread and found friends in various parts of the world.

50 years - this special anniversary we would like to celebrate with all of you - here in Japan. There will be a 4 days program, starting with a seminar in Izu (Kannon Onsen) and concluding with a party in the traditional Happo-en garden,
a green oasis in Tokyo.

You all are cordially welcomed. The invitation you find on the seminar list on this homepage.
