THE DOJO:

The Pretoria Aikikai was established in 1979.  It continues to play a central role in the training of instructors and the spreading of Aikido throughout South Africa.

It has close ties with Aikido groups in Japan, Italy, Guam, Great Britain, Hong Kong, New Zeeland, Australia, Canada, China, Russia and Reunion. Seminars and exchanges take place at regular intervals.
