Our History
It was Soshi-Shihan Yonezawa, Katsumi, who was one of the first Daito-ryu master’s to teach outside of Japan. He travelled to US, Canada and Mexico in the 70’s teaching Daito-ryu Aikijujutsu and awarding various black belt certificates. With the passing of So-Shihan Yonezawa in 1998, we have an obligation (Giri (義理) to Ni-Dai Soke Yonezawa,Hiromitsu (son) to continue teaching Daito-ryu Aikijujutsu across Canada and around the world.
