Established in 2013, Aikido Kenshin-Kai is a small but closely knit community of Aikidokas in Singapore who strive not only for martial effectiveness but for the art to mould the character within.
Receiving your new belt can be one of the most exciting experiences. After all, the experience is a starkly different from the standard presentation of awards and certificates. A hearty congratulations to all who received their belt this week! Here is a collection of photos taken at each of our dojos.

Our first seminar with Yamada Shihan held in mid-July was a resounding success! Said Lim Jiaqi from Impact Aikido: "It has been an awesome refreshing experience in the aikido seminar. Despite practicing for close to ten years, there is so much more to learn! The seminar has been so interesting and different from so many that I have attended and I am so grateful to have learnt so much, "feel" so much and be so happy in learning not just the techniques, but also getting a deeper understanding of the philosophy and fundamentals of the bushido spirit, as well as, the quintessential meaning of Aikido. Thank you, Impact Aikido, Swift Aikido and Aikido Kenshin-Kai for organizing such a heart warming seminar. It is such seminars that give me more motivation to want to learn more. Arigatōgozaimasu!"
“I’m delighted to see that the children who graded were able to execute the techniques that were shared with them all these months. From the smiles on their own faces, I know they actually enjoyed the grading, and that makes me happy too. A lot of the credit goes to the instructors and leaders who have patiently guided these children.
As for the adults, I know that they have been training hard for this grading, and it showed. I am most impressed by how they have approached their grading with great enthusiasm. I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to everyone and anyone who has, in one way or another, made it possible for our first grading to proceed as smoothly as it did.”
