With the support of his students, Takayasu Sensei has guided the Takemusu Aiki Association Inc into becoming a strong and active non-profit organisation aimed at teaching and promoting the Aikido taught by O-Sensei at the Iwama Dojo in Australia. Graded 7th Dan and Shihan, he is a member of the Aikikai and authorised to conduct the grading of students on its behalf.
Takayasu Sensei is actively following Morihiro Saito Sensei’s wish to preserve Aikido the way it was taught to him by O-Sensei and encourages all students and senior instructors to maintain purity of technique and martial spirit. He believes Aikido training should be strong and martially effective, beneficial and strengthening for the body and mind and at the same time develop the underlying principles of Aiki.
In 2001, Takayasu Sensei returned with his own students to again study with Morihiro Saito Sensei and teach at the Iwama Dojo.
