Morihei Ueshiba and Morihiro Saito & Michael Field Michael Field and Michael Shaw

Field Sensei studied Aikido under Morihiro Saito Soke, O Sensei’s technical heir, while living in at the Iwama Dojo 1979 - 1982, April 1987, April 1994, April/May 1995, July 1996 & March 1999. He teaches techniques perfected by O Sensei in Iwama from 1945 to 1960. Before 1945 there was no Aikido – O Sensei aspired to establish a Budo (martial way) that he would name Aikido. Those Aikidos that have sprung from teachers that did not do extensive training under O Sensei at his Iwama Dojo during this period are not doing the Founder’s Aikido. Therefore Saito Sensei whom trained much more than any other with O Sensei during those years (and his teaching deshi) use the name Iwama Ryu Aikido or Aikido Takemusu to separate O Sensei’s Aikido from others using the name Aikido. Field Sensei has been issuing Iwama Ryu Aikido Dan Ranks exclusively in Australia since 1994 when Saito Sensei gave him the sole authority to do so. In the year 2000, during his last seminar in Australia, Saito Soke honoured Michael Field by making him his sole representative for Iwama Ryu Aikido in Australia.
