During this Perth Dojo Tour, we had the opportunity to visit seven dojos and engage in training with many instructors and students. Each dojo had its own unique character and philosophy, and throughout the journey, we could deeply feel the respect and passion each one held for budo. More than simply learning techniques, this tour reaffirmed for us the true essence of budo as a form of education.

The seventh stop on our Perth Dojo Tour was a seminar hosted by Yamato International Aikido, led by Head Instructor Murat Sensei, where I had the honor of teaching alongside Ezawa Sensei. The seminar was attended by instructors and students from several of the dojos we had visited during this tour, creating an energetic and collaborative learning environment.

The sixth stop on our Perth Dojo Tour was a black belt-level training session at Gyokunenkan. This session brought together instructors and black belts from different styles and dojos—a truly high-level and rare opportunity for shared learning. On this occasion, instructors from five different dojos gathered to train together, exchanging insights and studying each technique with care and depth. It was an inspiring sight.

The fifth stop on our Perth Dojo Tour was West Coast Aikido Martial Arts Academy. This was my second visit to this dojo, and once again, it was a truly wonderful experience.
