Cane Masters and Norfolk and Norwich shin-Gi-Tai Aikikai (CUA)

It is with the greatest pleasure that I can now announce that Grand Master Mark Shuey (10th Dan) founder of Canemasters is now a member of our Aikido Dojo.

We would all like to welcome him and will do so formally when he visits the UK.

All enquiries regarding the Cane on this website please contact me and I will do my very best to deal with your enquiry.

You will find all details of Aikido and Cane Classes on the appropriate links on this page.

1957 - 2007!

September 4th this coming year, 2007, will be fifty years treading the mats in many a Dojo. I am NOT going to have any massive celebrations only a small party with some of my friends and people I have known over the years gone by. I will share my thoughts on fifty years of martial arts on a link when I find time to write it.

1967 - 2007!

Another year of celebration is due to Sensei, Jon Harding (5th Dan) he is senior instructor for CUA and Shin-Gi-Tai Aikido Society. He like me is celebrating 40 years training in Aikido. I first really met Jon last year at the New Milton two day Course. He is in my humble opinion one of the best Aikido Sensei teaching in this country. I found it both a pleasure to learn from his vast store of knowledge and I hope that I can truly count myself as his friend. I hope to interview him later in the year and will post a report including some photographs.
