Gozo Shioda (塩田 剛三 Shioda Gōzō, September 9, 1915 – July 17, 1994) was a Japanese master of aikido who founded the Yoshinkan style of aikido. He was one of aikido founder Morihei Ueshiba's most senior students. Shioda held the rank of 10th dan in aikido.

If you google his name on youtube, you can find many videos.

In the video, he said "The secret of Aikido is to enjoy practicing Aikido.

As you enjoy practicing Aikido, you will find that you like it more and more." 




How did you feel after watching the video? 

Did you think 

"Wow! He is incredibly strong!" or "It can't be real or it's fake" ? 

You'll know the answer if you continue and enjoy Aikido!!!


 There are many great Sensei that you can learn from or see their wonderful skills like Shioda Sensei at Yoshinkan Aikido Ryu dojo.

Finally, here the video of Ando Sensei!
