Tetsushinkan Aikido Description
Aikido & Kenjutsu
At Tetsushinkan Dojo Aikido is taught together with the Kenjutsu (sword technique) of Kashima No Tachi and the two arts are integrated within our methodology. Over the past 20 years Paul Smith, Head of Tetsushinkan Dojo, has studied with Inaba Sensei, previous Head of The Shiseikan Budojo at Meiji Jingu, inTokyo. Profoundly influenced by Kuni Zenya, Inaba Sensei has combined these two distinct arts in a unique and complementary manner, creating a sophisticated methodology that weaves sword and empty-handed techniques into a fully integrated and inseparable whole. Paul Smith has rigorously researched this relationship between Ken and Aikido evolving an understanding that is expressed in his distinct approach to the teaching of Budo. The essence of Inaba Sensei’s teaching continues to inform Paul’s on-going exploration.

When I moved to London from Tokyo last year, I wanted to continue the practice I had just started in Meiji Jingu in Tokyo. Then the teachers in Meiji Jingu recommended to me Tetsushinkan. Tetsushinkan has exactly the same spirit with the authentic Japanese school. As a Japanese myself, I'm having a deep experience here, relearning the Japanese tradition. I'm also leaning fundamental physical skills such as grounding and breathing, through the fighting and self-defense techniques. Paul and the senior practitioners here are very kind, conscientious and enthusiastic. I strongly recommend Tetsushinkan.
I’ve been a member of Tetsushinkan dojo since 2009. Our Sensei, Paul Smith, is an insightful, highly experienced and knowledgeable teacher.
If you’re a beginner, we’re a friendly and generous bunch willing to help you get better. There’s a solid core of dojo members with long experience of Aikido as well.
If you’re already experienced then Tetsushinkan is somewhere you can deepen your practice and integrate your taijutsu and kenjutsu.
I've been practising at Tetsushinkan for around 3 years and would thoroughly recommend the dojo to anyone. Paul is a great teacher, knowledgable, approachable, and constantly developing his practice and teaching. He's supported by many experienced members, all of whom are more than willing to share their knowledge and help beginners develop.
There are quite a few contemporary dancers (myself included) at Tetsushinkan, and I'm sure there's space for more! As well as being rewarding it its own right, studying here has complimented my dance practice, both mentally and physically. I've learnt many things that are totally lacking from dance training!
