Our style of Aikido is based on the system developed by Professor Kenji Tomiki, Master of Aikido and Judo and founder of the Japan Aikido Association. It incorporates the Seven Stages of growth and skill in Aikido. Sensei Macfarlane is a direct student of Tomiki Sensei and also studied with the succeeding headmaster of JAA, Ohba Sensei and other Masters of the way of Aiki or Harmony Energy/Spirit. She has developed her own independent system of Unity Aikido with elements which support & reflect the intent of the original traditional Way to enlightenment.
