A totally self-defensive martial art which involves no kicking or punching. Founder and Head Instructor: Paul Araki-Metcalfe Sensei. Aiki kai Yondan (4th Dan). I have studied, trained and taught Aikido since the 70`s. I have recently returned from living 9 years in Japan with my family. I have re-discovered Aikido through my studies of a 600-year-old traditional Japanese sword style, whilst living in Japan. I was presented with the Kaiden Menkyo (traditional sword teaching license), and the official title of Shihan by my Japanese sword teachers, before I returned to Australia. I am the only person fully qualified to teach this specific sword style, outside of Japan.
