Sosei Aikido Kyokai was formed to fill a need in the Aikido community and keep the dream of Fumio Toyoda Shihan alive of making Aikido available for everyone.

Along with Aikido, the Sosei Aikido Kyokai supports it’s own Iaido Study Group. Iaido is the practice of Japanese Swordsmanship.

The study group’s main focus is on Mugai Ryu Iai although some member dojo practice  other forms of Iaido.
