I would like to take this opportunity to inform you that my dojo Mugenjuku Kyoto and NPO Mugenjuku international have resigned from the Aikido Yoshinkai Foundation as of July 17, 2024,
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the late Gozo Shioda Sensei and Yoshinkan Aikido for all the support I have received from Yoshinkan since joining in 1980.
From now on, as “Aikido MUGEN JUKU”, I will pursue the path of aiki even further and devote myself to passing on the spirit and techniques inherited from the late Gozo Shioda Sensei to as many people as I can.
Furthermore, as a Japanese martial art that connects the world, I will strive to spread the philosophy of peace and harmony of aikido everywhere I can.
Thank you all very much for your continued support.
I would also like to take this opportunity to extend my best wishes to all of you. I am looking forward to reconnecting with old friends and make many new ones . You are all welcome in my dojo whatever your rank or affiliation.
Sincerely,
Jacques Payet
Aïkido Mugenjuku
