Trowbridge Aikikai was established over 10 years ago, but is probably one of Wiltshire's best-kept aikido secrets.
The club's instructor is Rob Hill Sensei, a 6th Dan instructor accredited by the Hombu dojo, traditional Aikido's global headquarters. Hill Sensei, who has practised aikido since the 60s, founded the club under the technical direction of the late Sugano Seiichi, an 8th Dan Shihan (Senior Instructor) and himself former direct student of the founder of aikido, Morihei Ueshiba.
Trowbridge Aikikai is a friendly local club, but with strong links to an international community of fellow aikidoka. We try to attend regular seminars with our Dutch and Belgian counterparts, to continue the legacy of Sugano Shihan from his teaching in Australia, Europe and the United States.
