Our Path
Polish Aikido Organization continues the teaching tradition of Shihan Fumio Toyoda (1947-2001), one of the most outstanding Aikido masters outside Japan. Through our teacher Shihan Edward Germanov (7 dan), we are directly connected to Aikikai Hombu Dojo in Tokyo.
We practice Aikido as a path of self-improvement - not only physical, but above all spiritual and mental. Our training combines traditional Japanese approach with practical application in daily life.
