About the Instructor:

Seishiro Endo, born in 1942 in Saku, Nagano Prefecture, is one of the most quietly influential teachers in modern Aikido and holds the rank of 8th dan Shihan in the Aikikai. He began training while a student at Gakushuin University and later lived and trained at Aikikai Hombu Dojo during the final years of Aikido’s founder, Morihei Ueshiba.

Early in his career Endo Sensei practiced powerfully, like many young instructors of his generation, but a serious shoulder injury in his thirties forced him to rethink how he moved and trained. That turning point led him toward a softer, more attentive style that emphasizes connection, sensitivity, and natural movement rather than strength or form alone. Known for his calm presence and precise feeling, he continues to teach at Hombu Dojo and Gakushuin University, runs Aikido Saku Dojo in his hometown, and travels internationally, influencing students with an approach that feels deeply personal, practical, and rooted in lived experience rather than theory.
