We extend our heartfelt wishes for a joyous New Year.
We are deeply grateful for the tremendous support and cooperation we received from everyone walking the path of Aikido together with us over the past year. As we welcome this new year, we sincerely express our appreciation for your continued encouragement and support, and we wish you good health and happiness.
This year, we will continue to focus on the core principles of Aikido—“harmony” and “personal and physical growth”—and strive to ensure that each practitioner can deepen their training and enrich their journey. Furthermore, through contributions to our local communities and fostering international exchanges, we remain committed to sharing the beauty of Aikido with the world.
We look forward to your continued support and guidance in the year ahead. May this year bring you an abundance of success, happiness, and fulfillment.
With warmest regards,
